TEACHER'S TRAINING

      ​

      Active teacher participation is vital, thus WESC is sharing its innovative methodologies and conducting teacher-training workshops. These sessions show how to use WESC strategies to provide environmental science learning opportunities for students that are challenging, participatory, hands-on, experiment-based, and child-centered.

      We challenge teachers to discover ways to utilize collaborative industry field trips and youth community actions into an overall holistic education strategy.

      ​Training of Trainers In partnership with the British Council, and the Field Studies Council, which is a pioneering educational charity committed to bringing environmental understanding to all, we have selected 15 teachers from 6 governorates around Egypt to participate in a 5 days training of trainers program. The training carried the theme of education for sustainable development (ESD), aiming at enhancing the teachers’ skills and knowledge about  ESD and training skills.
