Registered in Namibia as a non-profit trust, NaDEET is a vibrant environmental education organisation. At the core of NaDEET’s programmes is our environmental education centre located on the NamibRand Nature Reserve. Children and adult participants learn first-hand about sustainable living, biodiversity and the balance between humans and the environment. Our environmental literacy and outreach programmes complement the Centre’s activities and expand its reach nationwide. Since 2019, NaDEET has opened a day visitor's centre in Swakopmund, the NaDEET Urban Sustainability Centre.

What is sustainable living?

Sustainable living enables us to:

balance the social, political and environmental aspects of our existence
improve our quality of life
share responsibility in managing the Earth’s resources
save money!

ESD Toolkit Couriered to Teachers

At the core of the Teach for ESD programme are our 240 teachers who we cannot yet meet in the training workshop due to the Covid-19 restrictions. We have adapted the programme to enable our participants to get started by sending them some of the programme materials. The team at the Urban Centre has been busy with packing and posting materials to different parts of the country.

They enjoyed the dunes, learned about the night sky and were inspired by the Sustainable Development Goals. The grade 11 learners plan to grow more vegetables in their school garden and to start a soup kitchen at their school.

Appreciating Coastal Sunshine

With recent warmer temperatures and days of sunshine, staff at the Urban Sustainability Centre in Swakopmund have welcomed the weather by making use of the solar oven to prepare several baked goods. This is a nice break from the usual Benguela coastal fog.
