Welcome to the Namib Desert Environmental Education Trust (NaDEET)

Learners from the Willem Borchard Primary School and community members from Okombahe in the Erongo region took part in our educational outreach programme. The programme was sponsored by Rossing Uranium and focused on renewable and efficient energy usage. With many hands-on, practical activities, the learners and community members gained a new perspective on solving their energy needs.

With the end of the year fast approaching, we have been busy with teacher workshops and school groups at both NaDEET Centre and at the Urban Centre in Swakopmund. Our latest group at the Centre on NamibRand was the Grade 6 class from Private School Swakopmund this past week. With a little rain on the last day and lots of educational, fun activities, the students are inspired to act for SDG 13 ‘Climate Action’.

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.
