Young Environmentalist Awards Six Steps Training for Educators
This training is aimed at assisting educators in supporting young people participating in the Young Environmentalist Awards and our “Six Steps to success” framework.
The YEA Six Steps Training for Educators is a 1.5-hour training session delivered online as an after-school webinar. The training is perfect for teachers, youth workers or support staff who will be mentoring YEA participants.
The aims of the session are to;
- Outline the history of ECO-UNESCO and the Young Environmentalist Awards
- Explain the benefits which taking action and participating in the YEA can have for young people
- Explore the different YEA Categories, gain project inspiration and learn how to encourage student-led action
- Outline the submission requirements, project timeline and each stage of the awards
- Outline the six steps to success framework for successful project management
- Brainstorm useful games and activities to engage young people in the six steps
- Know where to find additional supports and where to direct questions
In addition to this, we also provide a Programme Manual to all registered groups which has clear guidelines on putting together an action project and contact details for continued support during the YEA.
