Main Activities

The club intervenes in each class and organizes talks/debates with projections of images and videos on major environmental issues on different environmental themes, such as: climate change, the importance of forests, sustainable development, biodiversity, management waste, alternative energies.

The club, from time to time, initiates excursions to discover the richnesses of the fauna and the flora as well as the environmental problems of the country. It also sets up school nurseries and creates green spaces in other schools in the city and surrounding villages. 

Volunteer tasks

The volunteer will be able to accompany the club's animator, a teacher to visit classrooms for talks/debates on environmental issues. Each class has one hour per week for these talks-debates and mass awareness activities are also organized with the entire school.
