Education and Training
CSE’s Environmental Education programme takes environment issues into the classroom by organising practical workshops and talks about sustainability issues for school-students, youth and school teachers. The unit also conducts the Ecological Footprint project, which consists of eco-tours, lectures, and poster competitions that teach children about the ecological dimensions of their city. Such programmes help children understand the holistic unity between environment and sustainable development. This programme is supported by the bimonthly Gobar Times, a Down to Earth supplement aimed at school children.

Partners with Media

The Media Resource Centre seeks to build capacities in mass media to understand the linkages between environment and sustainable development. Adopting several innovative strategies, including workshops and media fellowships, the Centre partners with mass media to exploit its tremendous multiplier effect in disseminating exposure and knowledge about sustainable development issues. In addition, the Media Resource Centre will soon introduce—the first of its kind in India—a certificate course in environmental journalism.
