The project aims at advancing natural sciences teaching in North and East Syria and supporting the region’s environmental organizations’ work in the society. At the same time, the goal is to bring the region’s unique environmental thinking to Finland and to increase the equal exchange of ideas on sustainability issues between the Global South and the Global North.
Our project stakeholders in North and East Syria are the region’s autonomous administration’s health and environment body, environmental NGO Green Tress and the University of Rojava.
Our NGO will carry out the project in collaboration with Finland-based scientists who have expertise in distance learning, biology, the curricula of natural science education, and socio-ecological change studies. Also Finnish environmental activists are taking part in the project work.
