Youth Eviro Show kickoff

German ambassador Herbert Beck and Wakapinya Environmental Education founder and executive director, Ester Ishiwa Haikola, as well as Julia Nangula Kanyemba, general manager of Wakapinya, signed an agreement this week that entitles the organisation to receive a total of 34 200 euros, or N$550 000, from the climate fund of Germany’s federal foreign office.The organisation will implement a project that will create awareness for environmental and climate issues amongst the youth of Namibia. The aim of the project is to sensitise young people and school learners about their environment and its challenges and also to provide them with information about the climate in general and climate change in particular. The organisation will produce an online show called ‘Youth Enviro Show’ which will transfer knowledge and awareness. The show will air twice a month on social media platforms such as Facebook and You Tube. The online show, which will be presented in different Namibian languages, will also provide a platform called ‘Clubhouse’ to the audience and through this, give all interested parties the possibility to discuss current topics.In addition to the online show, a roadshow will take place in three different schools in the Khomas, Omaheke and Hardap regions. This show will introduce the environmental club, called ‘Enviro Warriors Club’ to the selected schools, which will initiate a gardening and tree planting activity at these schools as well as in the surrounding communities. Furthermore, learners and any interested youth will be taught to create design and arts from recycling materials. This will give them an understanding of sustainability and teach them more about the concept of reduce, reuse and recycling. The produced items can be sold for an income.
