💼 What the programme involves
Our environmental education program focuses on primary schools in Bali and focuses on instilling a love and concern for the environment in children at a young age, imparting our message in a fun and dynamic manner. The emphasis is on 'hands on' techniques getting out and about in nature and working together. Volunteers spend two hours each morning planning their campaign and go to schools in Ubud We realize education is just the starting point and encourage children to learn through our actions and to work together and do their part all the while emphasizing that every little counts.
This project is suited for people with a concern for the environment. Balinese culture has strong ties to nature and their environment and becoming involved with the local population who regard their environment not as a separate entity but very much a part of their own lives offers you the opportunity to learn and contribute towards a cause which few places on earth can offer.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Volunteers will be accommodated in one of Green Lions' volunteer houses in the village of Penestanan Kaja. The Balinese place great importance on family and the volunteer houses are located amongst Balinese compounds, where you will get the chance to interact with local families and practice your new-found language skills.
