This summer, several groups of young people are taking their backpacks and leave the big cities of China, to go to the hinterland and bring sustainability education to children. We want to introduce three groups:
Guiyang: Organized by AIESEC at Tsinghua University, twenty volunteers from China and around the world came to Beijing to prepare for an adventurous summertime in Guiyang. With the help of Greennovate, the students learned how to be a teacher and what matters when talking about sustainability to children. Right now, the summer camp is underway in Guiyang, in Xifeng County. The organizers plan to establish long-term partnership, to carry on with green activities even after the camp.
Sichuan and Guizhou: A few weeks ago, we received 11 energetic students from countries all over the world in our green office in Shanghai. They were AIESEC volunteers, about to embark on a long train journey to Sichuan and Guizhou, were they were to travel to different schools to teach the GECKO program to local children.
Qinghai: A group of 16 students from Shanghai International Studies University, who already finished their trip to Qinghai province recently, to teach the GECKO program at local High Schools. This is the second year that students went to Qinghai for this purpose. We will hear about their experiences soon!
