OVERVIEW Lebanon is facing a continuous and advanced environmental degradation despite efforts and actions by specialized NGOs and the government over the years. It seems that behaviors have not yet changed.
Based on the success of our Computer Mobile Schools that are continuously solicited, this innovative IT-supported "e-ecoeducation®" will combine advocacy and practical applications to promote and develop environmental preservation knowledge and skills to achieve an ecologically sustainable society.
What is "e-ecoeducation®"? "Environmental Education and Training (EET) promotes attitudes and value systems that influence environmentally ethical behavior by developing understanding, skills and values that will enable people participate as active and informed citizens in the development of an ecologically sustainable and socially just society.
Environmental Education is fundamental to the achievement of the goal of sustainable development" (United Nations Environment Programme).
PURPOSE & GOAL The purpose is to create a healthier environment. Going green to protect the environment is recognized as the right thing to do and presents a crucial and strategic edge.
The project goal is two-fold: To provide the public at large, but more particularly the young generations, the private and public sectors or other civil society organizations to go green with the required information and skills to develop, create and implement Green behaviors and policies To introduce and disseminate on current eco problems that could lead, in time, to the creation of green businesses and hence, to the opening of new job opportunities geared towards the respect of our environment.
ACTIVITIES IT Training Programme
E-ecoeducation® will be implemented through IT Training session to be delivered by professional training center "Formatech" in a Saradar Computer Mobile School. A customized-designed handout is developed by Fondation Saradar and Formatech to conduct this first-of-its-kind learning programme.
Best Practices programme
Identify and select 3 projects or organizations as a result of a Green contest to become recipients of the 3 Best Practices rewards during a ceremony or a press conference.
TRAINING APPROACH This awareness and education project will rely on an interactive, participatory approach involving the trainees for information research and sharing; and solution finding as well. The Training will be workshop oriented. The e-ecoeducation project will rely on surveys and public consultation for Green data collection and production, that will be considered as one of the project outputs, and a main project target for wider dissemination and mobilization.
TIMELINE
A one-year pilot phase will be initiated in October 2011 in Beirut and its surroundings. The training
programme will include a 12h-15h training session based on topics proposed by international learning centers.
