Programs that get students outside

Four connected ways we turn environmental awareness into something students do, not just something they read about.

01

Environmental Clubs

A growing national network of school clubs with coordinators, resources and shared projects.

02

E-STEM Program

Environmental science, technology, engineering and maths challenges built around Guyana's own ecosystems.

03

Field Experiences

Guided trips to mangroves, rivers, farms and forests so learning happens outdoors, not just in class.

04

Information Trees

Installations placed in schools and public spaces that make biodiversity facts impossible to walk past.

A club in every region

Coordinators meet each year to swap ideas, plan projects and take fresh material back to their schools. From Region 1 to Region 6, clubs run clean-ups, plantings, surveys and their own campaigns.
