COURSE SUMMARY:
A five day course to an approach that integrates language learning, creative thinking and social responsibility in a way that enables learners to relate to environmental issues to their own lives. Building a solid foundation for learners to be responsible, global citizens in the future. Never has there been a more important time to tackle the environmental issues that we are all facing. As global citizens we have a collective responsibility to act now to save our precious planet - our one true home - and as educators we have a bigger responsibility to give the students in our care the information, and the voices, they need to build a brighter, more sustainable future on Earth.
