District Grant 2022-2023: Climate educational package for schools 8-9 year olds – Romania en South Africa

The most effective approach to address climate change is through education, recognizing the pivotal role it plays in fostering awareness and inspiring positive action. In our initiative, we aim to target young children aged 8-10 by providing them with a comprehensive, free educational package. This package has been meticulously crafted right here in The Hague, under the supervision of a diverse group of educators and thoroughly vetted by experts.

Our strategy involves implementing this educational project in schools located in both Romania and South Africa. By collaborating closely with local Rotaract clubs, we seek to enhance and tailor the educational package to suit the specific needs and cultural contexts of each region. This collaborative effort ensures that the educational content is not only accurate and informative but also culturally sensitive and relevant.

Through this initiative, our goal is to empower young minds with the knowledge and understanding of climate change, fostering a sense of responsibility and inspiring them to actively contribute to positive changes in the climate. By laying the foundation for environmental awareness at a young age, we believe we can instill a lifelong commitment to sustainable practices and create a generation of informed individuals ready to tackle the challenges of climate change.
