PROGRAM LEADING TO TRAINING CERTIFICATE (FROM WESTERN ATTICA UNIVERSITY)
The Bioeconomy and Environment Cluster of Western Macedonia – CluBE in collaboration with the University of Western Macedonia, ARKTOUROS and the University of Western Attica is organizing the 1st Winter Academy of Environmental Educators in Nymphaeum, Florina, within the framework of the Climate Awareness Campaign “Climate Community_WM”. With this action, its twinning with the SKYROS Project is sealed.
The “Climate Community_WM” Campaign is in its first year of existence, with already three active actions. One of them is the Academy of Environmental Trainers, an Academy that has been actively running since 2016 on the island of Skyros, as a Summer Academy, and in December trainees will come from all over the country to Nymphaeum, Florina, to live the educational experience in a winter landscape with natural beauty.
The Academy of Environmental Educators is considered a pioneer in training the new generation of environmental educators, able to join the formal, non-formal and informal promotion of responsible environmental behavior and health promotion. Participants can successfully contribute to the school system, environmental centers, cruise ships, museums, gardens, mass media, and wherever they can get involved in Environmental Education, Public/Community/Environmental Health issues.
The aim of the Academy of Environmental Educators is to chart a new path of education, pioneering for Greek data and based on the specialization needs of those who train in Health Education and Environmental Health. Also, the Academy focuses on providing skills, so that the trainees can successfully handle the field of communication, in environmental and health matters.
The ultimate goal is active participation in decision-making related to the environment and health through actions aimed at promoting Environmental Health for the protection of citizens and all social groups.
In particular, the program is aimed at university students and graduates of environmental sciences, health and welfare sciences, biological and social sciences, as well as humanities.
