Teachers’ conference about environmental education
Among the programs of the 15 anniversary of Krishna-valley, on the 31.Octorber 2008 we organized a teachers’ conference to emphasise the importance of education for enviro-consciousness. The conference has nearly 60 guests, teachers from our region.
Gaura Sakti das, president of our biofarm, briefly introduce the Eco-valley program and then a short film was shown for the audience.
Dr Miklós Persányi (director of Budapest Zoo, former Environmental Minister) gave a presentation called “Does climate indulge for future?”. He presented the situation of the approaching ecological, economical and social crisis and the importance of enviro-consciousness education for children.
The following guests gave a presentation as well: Ernő Csirke (director of five schools in Pécs), Partha das (Environmental Director of Krishna-valley) and Premamoja das (Education Director of Krishna-valley).
After the presentation the guests were given a tour on the farm. The organic garden, the Cow-protection Centre and the elementary school were introduced by Sundara-gopala das, Govinda-nandana das and Dvaipayana das.
Our guests expressed their aim to cooperate with us in many ways. Most of the participant would like to arrange school-excursions, but cooperation in organizing “Eco-logic” study circle and Eco-camps were suggested by several teachers as well.
To join our program more application form those schools who could not participate on this event are most welcomed.
