SASIX project wins Greening the Future Award
Fri, 4 June 2010
SASIX-listed organisation, The Midlands Meander Association Education Project (MMAEP), has received the Greening the Future Award 2010.
MMAEP is a sophisticated and specialist programme, which helps 114 teachers at 15 schools registered in the Wessa/WWF-SA Eco-Schools programme to integrate environmental education into the teaching curriculum.
Although this integration is required as part of the national curriculum statement, many schools are without the resources, skills or information needed to do it eff ectively. The organisation’s vision is to help Midlands schools nurture capable, confident, curious children who are sensitive to environmental issues, who have the resilience to cope with a changing world and are able to contribute positively to their communities.
