Empowering Teachers for the Planet: An EWC Program with Schools for the Planet in the Philippines
This webinar features an EWC program in the Philippines with Schools for the Planet, where participants will learn about how they engage and empower communities of young conservationists in schools across Southeast Asia. For its first year, it launched on the southern Philippine island of Mindanao, seeking to collaborate with school communities all over Davao City in the creation of innovative and holistic interventions that can enhance and intensify environmental efforts in their campuses.
Schools for the Planet trains faculty and staff on conservation, to develop a prototype based on their unique contexts, and to train them to replicate and facilitate the workshop in other schools in the city. The program follows a community-based, human-centered design that prioritizes the context and needs of each school community. It will provide an opportunity for school community members to dialogue, innovate, and co-create a prototype of an intervention.
This webinar features Tricia Angelika Firman - a teacher, a storyteller, and an earth optimist. She started her advocacy work in environmental conservation in the 2018 YSEALI Mindanao SEA Camp after winning a grant for Mermaid Tales, a storytelling caravan on marine conservation for coastal communities in Davao City. In 2020, she became a Philippine delegate for the YSEALI Academic Fellows-Institute of Environment and Natural Resources Management in the East-West Center. In the same year, she co-founded and won a grant for Schools for the Planet, an organization that seeks to engage and empower school-based organizations across Southeast Asia. Currently, she is working on a YSEALI Small Grants project on Faith & Environment and is also a fellow of the EWC Innovation Fellows 2021.
