Green education refers theteaching about how natural environments function and, particularly, how human beings can manage their behavior and ecosystems in order to live sustainably. It refers to education within the school system. It is sometimes used more broadly to include all efforts to educate the public and other audiences.
"Environmental education is a learning process that increases people's knowledge and awareness about the environment and associated challenges, develops the necessary skills and expertise to address the challenges, and fosters attitudes, motivations, and commitments to make informed decisions and take responsible action" (UNESCO, Tbilisi Declaration, 1978).

ReplyDeleteYes, today's youth are the leaders of tomorrow. Therefor it is important to teach them to start thinking out of the box and to think critically about the issues we have. Problem solving skills should be ecouraged so that they can start practising it. (29249890)
ReplyDeletemaar hoe interpreteer mens green education as mense slegs reaktief dink en nie proaktief nie, bv. met die global warming almal weet dit vernietig die aarde maar tog wil ons steeds lekker lewe , en wanneer dinge te erg raak en die skade is klaar gedoen wil ons almal dan eers begin ''worry'' , maar tog beskadig ons die ozoonlaag nogsteeds al weetg ons dit is verkeerd.
ReplyDeletedus doen mense wat vir hulle van belang is en gelukkig maak, ongeag die proaktiewe resultate dsarvan( die lang termyn effekte).
onderwysers moet voorbeelde vir leerders wees, hoe kan ons kinders leer van green peace as ons wat rolmodelle vir hulle moet wees dan self nie die regte ding doen nie? (29098417)
