WARO is implementing a comprehensive Schools Environmental Advocacy Project in Baardheere, a town located in the Southwest state of Somalia.
The project aims to empower students and educators in Baardheere to become champions of environmental protection and sustainable practices within their schools and local communities.
Key components of the project include:
Environmental Education Curriculum:
WARO has developed tailored environmental education curricula for primary and secondary schools in Baardheere.
The curricula cover a range of topics such as climate change, biodiversity, waste management, water conservation, and renewable energy.
Teacher Training:
WARO is providing extensive training to teachers and school administrators in Baardheere on effective delivery of the environmental education curriculum.
The training equips educators with the knowledge, skills, and pedagogical techniques to engage students and foster environmental awareness.
Student-Led Advocacy Initiatives:
The project encourages students to form eco-clubs and environmental action groups within their schools.
These student-led initiatives enable young people to identify local environmental challenges, develop solutions, and advocate for change within their schools and communities.
School-Community Linkages:
WARO facilitates collaboration between schools and local community organizations, government agencies, and other stakeholders.
This helps to strengthen the connection between schools and the broader community, ensuring that environmental education and advocacy efforts have a far-reaching impact.
Awareness-Raising Campaigns:
WARO organizes school-based events, competitions, and awareness campaigns to promote environmental stewardship among students, teachers, and the wider Baardheere community.
These activities help to amplify the voices of young environmental champions and inspire broader community engagement.
