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
