Welcome to the Namib Desert Environmental Education Trust (NaDEET)

NaDEET in partnership with Orano Mining Namibia and the Ministry of Education, the Urban Centre hosted its first ever STEM-ESD programme. By combining Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) with Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) learners could connect what they learn in the classroom with the natural environment around them. This unique approach also helped learners better understand environmental challenges and learn ways to use science and technology to address them. This week-long holiday school camp was attended by thirty-one Grade 10 learners from 11 different schools in Swakopmund and Walvis Bay.

One of our Kitchen Educators, Lulu, teaches schoolchildren from Stampriet Primary School how to solar cook using a parabolic solar cooker. In Namibia, wood is a scarce natural resource. To protect our environment, our participants at NaDEET Centre make use of the abundant solar energy to sustainably cook their meals. 

School children from Taking Hands Educational Centre in Omaruru spent a week at NaDEET Urban Centre where they learned about environmental sustainability through hands-on and creative activities! By combining environmental education and art, the children were able to learn in a fun and interactive way, enhancing their learning experience.

“We learned a lot about biodiversity, and it was fun!"
