Environmental Reporting

NGC is facilitating an innovative online programme to document the experiences of Green Teachers. Now NGC Green Teachers can share the school environment activities taken up by them. The details of each and every activity taken up by Green Teachers will be uploaded to the internet and made available online.

We all have news and stories to tell. The Internet lets us tell our stories to the world. If you want to tell something important about environmental issues and concerns to others, NGC will help you reach the entire world through internet! To begin, Green Teachers learn to share their information. This may mean learning from the people involved in environment education and also inspiring, motivating others into greening the environment.

In many places, teachers like you are pioneers in taking up innovative environmental activities. This is a challenge. And if you hope to succeed and want others to listen and believe you, follow you, then you must win their support. This can be achieved by starting to write about the activities you have taken up in your school and community. You can also write about the issues and problems related to environment in your area and how we can be the catalysts in bringing the desire change.

Think of yourself as a voice in your community. Make the news you want to tell clear and explain why it is important. Provide as many details as you can and if possible include photos to show the truth of your report.
