Eco Internship Programme
WWF-Pakistan’s Eco Internship Programme 2012
For the past four decades, WWF-Pakistan has been committed to providing quality environmental education to raise awareness about Pakistan’s natural resources and environmental challenges.
Considering the lack of opportunities for students to get actively involved in environmental conservation, WWF-Pakistan decided to introduce the Eco Internship Programme in schools across Pakistan. The Programme is a 6 session long workshop giving students an insight into the eco dynamics and eco challenges of the region. The sessions include Environment Expert presentations, group work, hands on activities, documentaries, interactive discussions, creative challenges and enriching exposure visits. |
