Dear GECKO Supporters,
It’s been a busy spring for us so far at Greennovate! The World Expo is around the corner, but first we have our DIY Earth Day event next Thursday, April 22nd. Those of you living in Shanghai – mark it in your calendars! (528 Kangding Road at 6 pm). It will be an awesome night – including a sustainable fashion show, an organic rooftop garden planting, a local band concert, a “cool your bike” workshop, and more. The event will be free, so please stop by! (check out http://earthday.greennovate.net for more info)
We are also excited to announce the upcoming successful finish of our first “Seeds for Sustainability” series for current and future GECKO trainers. The four–part lecture series provides a more in-depth look at ecology and sustainability, empowering student volunteers with greater flexibility and confidence when teaching in the high schools and giving them valuable insights to be taken into future careers.
As for the GECKO program itself – we’ve just finished our third module with rural high schools in Mogan Shan, and our partnership with AIESEC is ever-growing (most recently in Beijing late last month, where we trained a diverse group of student volunteers who have begun to bring GECKO to Beijing high schools).
That’s it for now – stay tuned for more.
Thank you for your continued support!
Happy Earth Day,
Schuyler
