What Do Our Cultural Enrichment In Environmental
Learning Programs Bring?
We now know that the learning process favors experimentation, representation, inquiry, exploration and discovery. Students learn and retain more from a live experience and will keep wonderful memories for a long time to come. Many institutions have had to adapt their educational strategies to experiential learning. Taking note of the lean towards these educational strategies, UDEC brings over a decade of experience in providing high quality and innovative public engagement programs; a product completely settled in this tradition of learning.
The presentations would:
- Increase knowledge, understanding and appreciation for the significance of the natural resources
- Raise awareness about social, cultural and geopolitical attitudes that influence management, distribution and trade of the natural resources
- Bring awareness to the accomplishments and contributions of the culturally diverse in historical context
- Provide empowerment for greater stakeholder capacity and stewardship
Covers the following thematic strands of State History and Social Studies Curriculum Standards
- Culture – A people’s way of life, language, customs, arts, belief systems, traditions, and how they evolve over time.
- Time, Continuity, and Change – The importance of understanding the past and key historical concepts, analytically and from various perspectives.
- People, Places, and Environments – The complex relationship between human beings and the environments within which they live and work.
- Individual Development and Identity – The exploration of human behaviors as they relate to the development of personal identities and the various factors that impact identity formation.
- Individuals, Groups, and Institutions – The impact of educational, religious, social, and political groups and institutions and the integral roles they play in people’s lives.
- Power, Authority, and Governance – The complex purposes and features of individuals and groups with respect to issues of power and
government. - Production, Distribution, and Consumption – The role of resources, their production and use, technology, and trade on economic systems.
- Science, Technology, and Society – The significance of scientific discovery and technological change on people, the environment, and other systems.
- Global Connections – The critical importance of knowledge and awareness of politics, economics, geography, and culture on a global scale.
