Description
The Estonian Environmental Education Association brings together people involved in environmental education and education for sustainability. Therefore, we need to protect the interests of the association to contribute to the improvement of the education of our children on environment and sustainability.
The project aims to improve advocacy activities of the association through better analyses and planning. First, the members of the board of the association and the advocacy working group of the association will undergo training that will improve their educational skills. Second, a mentor will help them to strengthen cooperation between them. That will increase their capacities to stand up for environmental education. We will create an advocacy plan and a communication plan which will allow better communication on changes in strategy. We will also create a methodology for evaluating the impact of these groups'' activities on the association.
During the project, we develop cooperation with the Ministry of the Environment and with the Ministry of Education. In addition, we emphasize the role of municipalities in promoting environmental awareness within the population. We also create a cooperation model for the cooperation between providers of environmental education services and local municipalities. On the one hand, the model emphasizes their roles in the field of civic education. On the other hand, it contributes to the environmental education centers which receive financing.
