Wednesday, April 09, 2003 - Teachers can play a more proactive role in
Environmental Education and Management if they understand its importance. This
is the view held by the Saint Lucia Chapter of the Caribbean Youth Environment
Network (CYEN) as it hosts a workshop for primary and secondary school teachers
on Thursday, under the theme “Teachers - Advocates for the Environment.”
CYEN Saint Lucia hopes to use the forum, to win the interest of teachers in
becoming environmental advocates, and in developing clubs and groups in primary
and secondary schools, which will be linked to other local environmental groups.
Following on the completion of the workshop, it is hoped that teachers will be
more informed on environmental issues in order to engage their students in
environmental activities.
Presentations will be made by representatives of the Caribbean Environmental
Health Institute (CEHI), the Ministry of Physical Development and the
Environment, among others. The programme begins at 9 a.m. at the Indies
Conference Centre.
