In early 2013, ProCEEd set-up an inventory of climate-related environmental education and awareness activities in Laos. Results from the inventory will feed into ProCEEd's environmental education and communication activities.
The inventory comprises a total of 146 entries, each representing an activity implemented by one of more than 50 organizations. The media or materials that were used throughout these activities are available in Lao, English or ethnic languages. The topics covered in the activities are categorized under seven major headings: 1-General environment & water, 2-Air and water pollution, 3-Recycling & resource saving, 4-Forestry & eco-tourism, 5-Climate change, 6-Rural development, food security & nutrition, and 7-Other. A total of 19 different types of activities from trainings or workshops to community learning or drama performances are distinguished. The same can be done for media and materials from text books or posters to theatre plays or cartoons. It is also possible to look into the same activities under 10 different target groups and 18 geographic areas throughout Laos.
The database and the report concerning the inventory is publicly available through the ProCEEd office as to encourage the exchange and adoption of successful approaches to environmental education and communication in Laos. Selected activities from the inventory can also be retrieved from the list below. Interested users can also apply the general 'search' function on this website to find interesting activities and useful materials on institutions, topics, target groups, media, and location.
