UNESCO Educational Resource Kit for Mountainous Regions

29.06.2011

An educational resource kit for mountainous regions has been produced by the UNESCO Division of Ecological and Earth Sciences and its Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB). The kit includes a manual for teachers and an activity book to teach pupils (from 10 to 15 years) about mountain environment and its specific issues through a fun and engaging approach. This kit has been designed as part of the activities for the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (2005-2014). Versions are being distributed in English and French by the UNESCO Associated Schools Network (ASPnet), which comprises nearly 9,000 schools in 180 countries. The kit is also available on line and other copies maybe requested by contacting the project team.
