This programme introduces students to sustainability, water conservation, and its impact on the environment.
Children learn about Malta’s native flora and fauna, which helps foster an appreciation for the environment around them, as well as the delicately balanced ecosystems, usually taken for granted.
Students are introduced to the three R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), which serve as the foundation for sustainability, and prime students for circular living.
Practical and engaging exercises help children to realise that every decision has a corresponding carbon footprint, and that they can take direct action to reduce theirs.
Classes are delivered in-person by JA volunteers, over the course of three to six hours, depending on modules selected.
Programme outcomes include the ability to:
- Observe and explore some ways in which plant and animal behaviour is influenced by, or adapted to, environmental conditions
- Discuss & understand animal habitats
- Understand the importance of trees & bees for biodiversity
Children will understand the value of their natural habitat, and the measures needed to protect it.
Reflecting on the interconnected web that joins ecosystems together will help inculcate a sense of respect for every living thing.
The programme will highlight the importance of sustainability and circularity in combatting global warming.
This volunteer-led, engaging learning experience will be both fun and impactful!
