[November free report] Environmental education project for children: "El Tesoro de la Lectura"

by Anghy Aquino | 19-11-2022 16:00 recommendations 0

I strongly believe in the power of environmental education to create more conscious citizens who act in favor of the environment, so for the past two months I have been working with three partners on an environmental education (EE) project aimed at children.

Throughout my life, I have participated in numerous environmental activities, including volunteering, campaigns, events, contests, etc., but this time I would like to tell you a little about the latest project that I am working on with three partners and friends. 

The name of our project is "El Tesoro de la Lectura" (The Treasure of Reading), and it consists of holding Zoom sessions with the participation of a volunteer and five children from 8 to 12 years old. The volunteer is in charge of guiding and supporting the children in the reading of stories and texts on environmental issues and in the conduct of games and didactic activities related to the readings in PowerPoint. The objective of our project is to provide children with the knowledge, values, attitudes, and skills to help them make informed decisions about addressing environmental and social issues. In addition, our project aims to empower children with skills and motivation to encourage positive action.

Our project is still in the qualification phase as it is part of a course organized by the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima (Peru). My partners and I presented it to a jury two weeks ago, and we really hope to win, as the winning project will be implemented by the team that proposed it with the help of the Municipality of Lima and other collaborating institutions. And even if we can't win this time, we still plan to disseminate our educational materials (readings, games, and didactic activities in PowerPoint) through social networks so that any teacher, child, or parent can access them for free. We all have the right to access educational materials.

EE is the most powerful tool to combat climate change and all its devastating effects, which have already caused too much damage around the world.

Below, I will share some screenshots of my team, project, and educational materials.
