Welcome to the Namib Desert Environmental Education Trust (NaDEET)

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!"

Secondary school learners from Otjivero C.S Environmental Club recently spent time at NaDEET, and biodiversity exploration was one of their highlights! Participants enjoyed exploring, discovering and identifying different species in the Namib Desert. At the NaDEET Centre, participants learn about the importance of biodiversity and how we can live in harmony with our natural environment using our own “It’s Time to Identify” guidebook.

The Oshana Environmental Youth Club recently visited the Urban Sustainability Centre in Swakopmund. The group investigated the new Urban Sustainability path in our front garden to be introduced to topics such as water resilience, circular economy, urban planning and housing, biodiversity and sustainable energy. From this and various other interactive activities, participants noted that the centre equipped them with simple yet effective ways to conserve water.

“The programme inspired me to use water carefully and to implement eco-friendly practices in my community to reduce harm to my environment and protect it for future generations”, commented a youth participant.
