Environmental education modules
What we do
To meet our goal, a strategy including five modules which targets five different groups of stake holders has been set up and is being implemented. The five modules are as follows:
Activities: Up to now, we have been implementing programmes in Bach Ma and Vu Quang National Parks, Song Thanh Nature Reserve, Vietnam Forestry University (developing a curriculum for a course on community based environmental education), and Thua Thien Hue, Quang Nam and Kon Tum provinces.
Objective: Increase the knowledge and understanding about nature and promote conservation action in schools.
Activities: To date, many programmes for primary, secondary and high school students have been implemented in Cat Tien, Phu Quoc, Con Dao, and Cat Ba National Parks.
Objective: Increase the knowledge and understanding about nature in urban communities through public information and education services.
Activities: Under this module we have worked with Hanoi Zoo and organised events such as the World Environment Day Festival, drama at the National Youth Theater, puppet shows, and we have also improved interpretation of the animals at the zoo with new signs.
Objective: Increase the understanding and value about nature and promote conservation action by policy and industry leaders in the form of policy development and promotion and corporate environmental responsibility.
Activities: A photo exhibition about nature and biodiversity was organized. Two short films about environmental awareness have been produced and launched at receptions for this target group. We will be working more on this module in the coming years.
Objective: Increase the knowledge and understanding about nature and promote conservation action by tourists while also promoting eco-tourism.
Activities: We have provided financial and technical support for the translation of the book entitled Interpreting Biodiversity - A Manual for Environmental Educators in the Tropics. We will be working with PA managers and staff, tourism operators, and artists to develop skills to design and implement effective interpretation centers, trails, displays and materials.
