Environmental education curriculums and Games

More and more, children and young adults spend most of their time within confined spaces, disconnected from the natural world. Even children that live in rural areas sometimes know little about their environment and the nature that surrounds them. Our environmental education curriculums and games seek to reconnect young people with nature and to get them interested in science and research. We want to help people generate a sense of belonging towards their natural resources and biodiversity and to provide the tools necessary to protect and use these resources in a sustainable way.

Project objectives

Provide tools that facilitate the work of educators and local leaders

Maximize learning through fun and vivid experiences

Promote curiosity and critical thinking

Communicate science and promote conservation among diverse audiences
