EDUCATION

LEAD FROM THE FRONT

We believe education can change the world. Why do we believe this? Lets just take a simple example, we have given 160+ Wildlife workshops to different schools on Borneo and from those directly we have rescued 150+ animals like Pangolins, Clouded Leopards, Slow lorises, Hornbills and so on. Many of the kids sometimes just don't know if a turtle egg is illegal to be eaten or why the pangolin is going extinct. We need to help educate our future generations. Support us please.

KNOWLEDGE

in Our workshops we talk about the Wildlife found on Borneo (Mammals, Birds, reptiles, Insects, etc.) and how each animal has an important link in the ecosystem.

IDENTIFY

We then talked about the challenges they face such as deforestation, illegal trade, and other related issues.

And finally, we shared with them how young people like themselves can make a difference and be the change they wish to see for the forest.

PROCESS

In our workshops we only talk for 15-20 minutes.We let the kids do the talking for the next two hours in four different games including the final one, a Drama skit which they come up with. Our workshops are free , invite us by emailing us at 1stopborneo@gmail.com

ACTIVITY

1) Movie Nights - We meet once a meet and watch a nature related documentary. This is a fun way to learn new things about nature and have a great time

2) Nature Book Club - This activity takes place once a month. The participants meet up at the library where we have prepared a collection of nature books. Each participant can select one book. Everyone will get 40 minutes to read their books and during the time period the participant is expected to write down anything interesting they read. After 40 minutes, we all get back to the main table and everyone gets 5-7 minutes each to share what they have learnt. Great way to learn to make friends learn factual knowledge.

3) School workshops - Our workshops are two hours long where we only talk for 15-20 minutes and the rest of the time we conduct several interactive games. The audience will 'talk more' and also the final activity is a drama scene. We talk about the animals found on Borneo, troubles faced by them and young people can help us. Target is to go to give 250 workshops by 2020.
