Ecoclub started in Port Nolloth |
By Isabel Nosipho, Port Nolloth DLIST Node
 Recently the Museum Centre of Port Nolloth, in cooperation with DLIST-Benguela, started an Ecoclub for children between 9 and 12 years of age. The aims of the Ecoclub are to introduce the children to the environment and to raise awareness of environmental issues. In the weekly meetings, the children learn about different habitats and biodiversity of the area through little excursions, experiments, observation of animals, games, craftworks, etc. Therefore, the Ecoclub meetings are everything but ordinary school lessons!
On the longer run it will be important to communicate with other Ecoclubs in order to exchange ideas, information materials and also to organize exchange visits. If you want to share your information, experiences and ideas with the Port Nolloth Ecoclub or if you want to know more about it, please contact Nosipho at isanosipho@gmail.com or Johann jlonzer@mweb.co.za.
