Welcome to the Namib Desert Environmental Education Trust (NaDEET)

The Urban Sustainability Centre is pleased to be hosting a set of workshops for the Teach for ESD programme. With three workshops already done at the centre, teachers from across the country are happy to explore sustainability using the centre and connecting to the various SDGs. Through these workshops, teachers also get to explore various places such as the Lichen fields, the Erongo Desalination Plant and the Rent-a-Drum recycling collection facility. 

We are beyond excited to finally host our first Teach for ESD workshop at NaDEET Centre this past week. A group of twelve teachers from the regions of Oshana, Khomas and Erongo started off by investigating wicked environmental problems to understand the seriousness of the environmental crisis. This is the foundation to understanding the necessity of Education for Sustainable Development.

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.
