Staying informed, protecting & caring for ourselves, each other and the environment

Over recent weeks much of the discussion amongst PACE educators, and there’s been a lot, has focused on their concern to be informed about Corona virus and COVID-19.

PACE supporting REDD

PACE is very excited to be working with The Kariba REDD+ Project in north west Zimbabwe, as they set up school based conservation and sustainability education in rural communities that have suffered heavily from deforestation, poverty and drought. The PACE materials provide a rich and pertinent toolkit for teachers and learners who are grappling with very real conservation and environmental challenges on a day-to-day basis as well as in their curriculum topics. Kariba REDD+ is spread over nearly 800,000 hectares of [...]
