Welcome to the Namib Desert Environmental Education Trust (NaDEET)

The Teach for ESD Programme welcomed its 3^rd cohort of teachers for the next two years. The programme begins with a week-long training at NaDEET Centre. Participants have an in-depth sustainability experience with a focus on climate change and biodiversity. With their new Teach for ESD Toolkits as a foundation for learning, teaching and implementing ESD activities in their schools, they have all the necessary resources for the programme.

Participating teachers so far described the NaDEET Centre programme as educational and informative with many real-life experiences. They thoroughly enjoyed NaDEET’s teaching methods, such the incorporation of games and hands-on practical activities, which made the entire experience more fun and meaningful.

NaDEET’s programme plays a vital role in the community by opening people’s minds. It can help people develop innovate programmes that educate environmental sustainability- commented one teacher.

As we gear up to take on the new year, NaDEET staff have already gained new skills and expertise with the support of the informative nutrition course offered by Namibia’s very own culinary expert, Fortune Kangueehi. The course focused on balanced diets and the nutritional importance and benefits of indigenous foods. NaDEET kitchen educators took what they learned and applied through practical training.

Food is a key component of NaDEET programmes, and we aim to ensure that every NaDEET programme participant is served a filling, healthy, and nutritious meal.
