Education

As inheritors of the future, the next generation will take responsibility for the protection of our environment. It's up to us to make sure they know how to do it. With the vast range of new media and technology available, there are more ways than ever to educate today's youth to learn to live sustainably, reduce their footprint and receive real-world ecological experience.

WWF organises a strong range of educational programmes, working to educate today’s youth in line with education for sustainable development (ESD) programme objectives to promote stronger commitment from the community for conservation through fun, engagement and real life experience.

Schools and Outreach Education Programmes

It’s never too early or too late to learn about sustainable living and the conservation issues that affect us. Through WWF, Student Education programmes and Teacher Training programmes covering all ages are available both in the classroom and through centre-based classes at some of Hong Kong’s most important ecological sites.

Community Programmes

Harnessing community power is an effective way to spread the conservation message while engaging both youngsters and adults. WWF’s community programmes lay the foundations for long-term commitment to sustainable living and environmental protection.

Regional Projects

Understanding the complexities of Hong Kong’s unique environment can lead to real change in understanding our relationship with nature. By getting involved in local education in the field, WWF’s regional projects provide participants with the right ecological training to become qualified, active difference-makers in local conservation initiatives.
