NaDEET bestowed with the UNESCO Sultan Qaboos Prize for Environmental Protection 2024

We are honoured to have been awarded the UNESCO Sultan Qaboos Prize for Environmental Protection 2024 on 20 November 2024 in Budapest, Hungary. 

Launched in 1991 through a generous donation from Sultan Qaboos Bin Said Al Said of Oman, the prize recognizes, every two years, outstanding contributions to the management and conservation of the environment and raising awareness on the importance of environmental conservation for human well-being. 
In recognition of NaDEET’s exceptional contributions to sustainable development, its leadership in national environmental education policy, and its innovative and practical approach to sustainability education, we strongly recommend NaDEET for the 2024 UNESCO Sultan Qaboos Prize for Environmental Conservation. NaDEET’s work serves as a shining example of how education can address global environmental challenges and create a more sustainable future for all. - UNESCO

Urban Sustainability Centre welcomes back visitors

We have finally welcomed back day visitors to our new Urban Sustainability Centre. Schoolchildren and teachers that have come by are amazed with how much the centre has to offer. We are thrilled that our educational interactive exhibitions are reaching the intended purpose! 

We now are embarking on the next phase to get the centre fully operational. This is to renovate to create a classroom, kitchen and abultion facilities. We still need help to realise this goal. Learn more about our plans here. 

Sharing skills

It is great to see our new interns jumping right in! Here Elizabeth, our environmental educator, is training one of our new interns, Noah, at being a Centre Assistant. All together three new interns have joined the team in June for a six-month post graduate internship. Looking forward to sharing our skills with you.
