Encounter the world differently...
"Without changing our pattern of thought, we will
not be able to solve the problems we created with our current patterns
of thought’’.
Albert Einstein
We all know that our world is running out of options as regards the environment
and that it is vital to get everybody on board if we are going to remedy
the situation. Environmental Education remains the key to creating and
nurturing this new perspective - transforming a new generation into
responsible citizens who can appreciate and cope with the tensions of
living that the modern world demands.
The EnviroVision website is a dynamic new portal geared to offer key resources across a wide spectrum of environment fields from primary to tertiary education. Carefully designed worksheets are available for a range of topics and levels, each worksheet being carefully designed to highlight core concepts, promote higher level thinking, creativity and problem solving.
Much needed information on careers in the conservation and environmental fields is currently being developed and will be available shortly as a download.
Within the next 2 years EnviroVision will establish itself as a major provider of EE resources in the on-line / off-line provision of EE resources and EE resource information to all sectors of the EE community.
"See-Life" as you have never seen it...
The
EnviroVision website is the brain-child of
Dr Lynn Hurry, an
EE practitioner with over 30 years of hands-on experience in EE both as
a manager and as a writer and publisher of EE materials. His management
experience includes being the first director of EE in Mpumalanga
Province, while his writing and publishing experience has been across
the educational spectrum, in formal education from Lower Primary to FET
levels, and in informal education for both adults and children. He is
particularly passionate about informing young people on the careers that
are available in the linked fields of conservation and the environment,
and has prepared a vocational guidance with the title of Careers in
Conservation and the Environment that provides information on over 80
careers.
In addition to his impressive set of personal experiences, Lynn is a
committed networker seeking to keep open the lines of communication
between himself and user / provider individuals and organizations
Dr Ian Player writes...
To my mind families make up the most important units of society, and
a family that is aware of its environment, and takes action to preserve
it, must be the most treasured of all. Aardvark Publication’s Enviro-Vision
activity books are a step in the right direction in encouraging families
to know more about South Africa’s rich and diverse ecology, and if their
first two books in the series (Encounters with Wildlife and Encounters
with Sealife) are anything to go by, they are bound to play an important
part in getting young and old involved in knowing more about, and taking
action to look after, our precious South African wildlife and the
ecosystems in which they are found.
