Environmental education program for students in Iceland

This project is all about awareness. The volunteers will be the leaders of environmental education sessions in high schools in Reykjavik. The main goal is to create awareness among children and teenagers and promote protecting the environment in daily life. The work will be divided between preparation of materials such as posters, brochure, info mobile centre with photos and explanations, power points, and videos. During the second week, the volunteers will visit high schools to perform the session. During the project, the volunteers will enjoy a percussion workshop in order to give a small performance in the high school and catch the attention of the students.

Project dates: February 5 - February 17, 2013 & March 5 - March 17, 2013

Reykjavik is a city full of energy, just waiting for you to experience it. Powered by heat from the earth below, with ever-changing weather sweeping across the landscape, its natural features are matched by the energy of its residents. Think of the qualities of a great city - fun, culture, nature, clean air - and Reykjavik has them in spades. All the advantages of a modern, forward-looking society are complemented by the beautiful natural setting. In a country of only just over 300,000 people, the Reykjavik Capital Area has a population of about 200,000. However, since it's the only major city in the country, Reykjavik has a lot of the amenities that you would only expect to find in a much larger center elsewhere in the world.
