On Tuesday 26 November, 2002, Janetand Catherine will run a Teachers' Workshop in Arabuko Sokoke Forest, Gede, Kenya. Co-ordinated by Mr Tsofa Mweni, - Education Officer for A Rocha, Kenya, twenty five teachers and environmental educators from the surrounding area will take part in an interactive workshop looking at techniques and resources for delivering environmental awareness. This year's workshop will be a continuation of a foundation course run in November 2001when participants looked at the education work enthusiastically took part in hands on activities and educational games. The teachers then adapted the resources to suit their local environment and conditions. Feedback from the workshop was extremely positive with several of the teachers using the resources and techniques in the classroom and many requesting further training, which we are now delighted to be able to provide. This year's course will focus on techniques and educational resources that will foster young people's understanding of forest conservation and its importance to their sustainability, as well as that of the wildlife dependant upon it.
