Mainstreaming environmental education in formal curriculum has always been one of our top priorities. A wide range of themed trainings are provided to teachers, in order to increase their knowledge on environmental education and deepen related facilitation skills.
Tailor-made professional development training services are provided in accordance of schools’ needs. Through that, both enhancement in subject teaching and learning, as well as driving local environmental education would be done. Here are some examples of our previous work:
Hong Kong Institute of Contemporary Culture Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity
From July to August 2021, we designed and held a series of training activities for the teaching team of the Hong Kong Institute of Contemporary Culture Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity. The theme was about “Ecology of Hong Kong Amphibians and Reptiles”. Undergoing activities with well-designed teaching materials, professional lectures and outdoor field trips, an in-depth and comprehensive learning outcomes were achieved. Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve and Shui Hau on Lantau Island were specifically chosen for the wide coverage of biodiversity and habitats. The training has also addressed local conservation issues like the status, challenges and prospects of amphibians and reptiles.
