The Earth Charter's principles of sustainability, respect for life, and social and economic justice will be integrated into the educational programs.
The Korup National Park, located in Cameroon, is a biodiversity hotspot, and the communities surrounding it are deeply connected to the environment. By investing in the education of children in these communities, KRCS and the Earth Charter aim to promote environmental stewardship and sustainable practices. This initiative recognizes that education is a crucial tool for empowering individuals and communities to address environmental challenges and build a more sustainable future.
This partnership represents a commitment to sustainable education and community empowerment, ensuring that children have the opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute to a more just and sustainable world.
The partnership will leverage the expertise of both organizations. KRCS brings its experience in community development and its understanding of the local context, while the Earth Charter provides its framework for ethical decision-making and its global network of educators and practitioners. This collaboration is expected to create a lasting impact on the lives of children and the
communities.
The CHICS programme is financially supported by funds of the federal state of Hesse, Germany.
