CYEN "GREEN FUTURE" Summer Camp

For the next few weeks the Caribbean civilization club would be highlighting projects as well as initiatives being carried out throughout the Caribbean.The Club is a non-profit organization that has emerged in response to the heartfelt cry of students to learn more about the Caribbean and its people and cultures. The club is the first of its kind and has emerged from the University's foundation course FOUN 1101. This week we would be highlighting major youth projects being carried about by st lucia nationalist Erland Jade Georgeand Tevin Toby Shepherd CYEN "GREEN FUTURE" Summer Camp - 29th July to 14th August 2013 Our Goal is to educate and build awareness of the major environmental challenges that humanity is currently facing and will face in the future and our target group is marginalized youth in the school system, ages 9-15 year. Over the next two weeks we will be monitoring and evaluating the knowledge of these youth and endeavoring to instill in them some positive knowledge that will stir up in them a need to be agents of change. Some of the topic areas that will be covered are "Basics of the Environment and the World around us, Solid Waste Management, Climate Change & Energy Efficiency and Biodiversity". All of this in an interactive and hands-on atmosphere with tours, games, crafts and an open forum to be creative. We will then allow the children, having new knowledge and inspiration to draft up the future that they want for St. Lucia which will be filmed in a documentary and handed to our Governor General and Prime Minister. We do hope to share the outcomes and findings of this program with you when our project and report has been completed.
