Green Club Manual

This manual is written for elementary school teachers who are leading or involved with Green Clubs. It is also a useful resource for elementary school PTA committees. The manual assumes that the school Green Clubs are made up of a mix of different-age children. You may need to adjust some of the activities to suit specific age groups – particularly the younger children. Please be flexible and adaptive in how you use the resources in this manual and you will find it most useful.

This manual aims to help you with practical background information, technical methods and ideas on teaching the children. But nothing will replace the passion, interest and commitment of you, the teacher. You need a passion to have the wonderful opportunity to help children to learn about nature, growing food and their own relationship with plants and trees and the environment. This can contribute to a great change in Eritrea and the world.
