Environmental Education at a Coral Reef Sanctuary
On the education front, Chumbe is honoured for its selection to participate in an Advanced International Training Programmed on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) sponsored by the Swedish Development Cooperation Agency (Sida). Education for Sustainable Development is a new and groundbreaking approach to education, providing a more dynamic and holistic philosophy that emphasises capacity-building to foster actual behaviour change within local communities. Mr. Khamis Khalfan, our Assistant Head Ranger and Island-based education coordinator, has returned from Sweden as one component of the programme and is preparing a comprehensive teaching aid based on the ESD coursework. In November he and our new Education and Conservation Assistant, Mr. Adbularahman Ali Abdallah, will travel to South Africa to participate in two weeks of intensive programme development as one of the course phases. With support from Ms. Lina Nordlund, Conservation & Education Coordinator for Chumbe, they will return with dynamic and interdisciplinary Ranger Teaching Pack to implement into the existing Chumbe education programme.
