The OSCE Office will organize a three-day workshop on the 'Green Pack' environmental education curriculum kit for professors and post-graduate students at Nakhchivan State University.
The Green Pack is an innovative educational tool for teaching children about environmental protection and sustainable development.
The university's pedagogical and natural sciences professors will transfer the skills and knowledge gained to university students, who will in turn transmit this knowledge to school children and young adults in Azerbaijan when they start their professional carriers. The training is organized with support from the university, which is providing the venue for the event.
This initiative is part of a project that has built the capacity of more than 1,100 secondary school teachers and post-graduate students in using the Green Pack methodology and teaching materials in Azerbaijan since 2007.
