About the project

Official description from EXPA.

Global Volunteers will aid beneficiaries by teaching about local ecosystems and conservation practices. They will facilitate team activities that encourage cooperation and communication. Ideal candidates are passionate about nature, possess strong communication and creative skills, and enjoy working with young people. Volunteers should be open-minded, willing to lead, and ready to follow instructions.

Project

The project aims to contribute to SDG #15 by educating beneficiaries on local ecosystems and sustainable practices. It focuses on promoting biodiversity awareness and teaching ways to protect natural habitats. Through hands-on activities, beneficiaries will learn how to minimize environmental impact and develop a sense of responsibility for conservation.
