Support Young Environmental Leaders in Mexico

Educating for Climate Action

At our headquarters in Jalpan de Serra, we held a national workshop called "Climate Action", which was aimed at teachers, educators and the media to address climate change. We all gathered to share the experiences of local initiatives and local entrepreneurs solving problems in their own contexts with innovation, as well as, to raise awareness, and to manage and organize solutions to the countless threats to nature. Our partner, Earth Day Network, presented its 2020 campaign, broadcast from Washington DC, to publicize the initiatives that educators can incorporate into their curriculum, in particular celebrating Earth Day on April 22.  We were pleased to welcome old friends and allies from different states of the country as well as new educators. We find that in our communities, we are doing our best to counteract the reality of climate change, which is disrupting the fabric of life at a tremendous speed.

And for Grupo Ecológico Sierra Gorda, the backbone of the civil movement for conservation is Communtiy Environmental Education, a catalyzer for the coming generations to be environmentally sensitive, aware with new habits and feelings for Nature. Take these amazing kids, learning about the birds in their community, the types of food they eat and the habitat they need to survive. Each year we continue to work with the students, parents, teachers and local authorities to educate for a shared future.

The support we receive through Global Giving for this leadership project among youth is critical because we can guarantee deeper interaction and development with the opportunity to make the planetary crisis a shared challenge.
