Page 1 of 6 Working with CommunitiesThe CCC Environmental Education and Training Programme The techniques and approaches that CCC uses to generate both awareness and understanding, and impart skills to the different sectors of local communities.CCC is widely recognised for its pioneering work in the assessment of tropical forest and coral reef ecosystems. In comparison, the environmental education and awareness programmes that run alongside biophysical data collection are less well documented. CCC recognises the importance of including all resource users of a region within an environmental education and awareness programme. CCC targets a diverse range of audiences including local schoolchildren, village community leaders, resort guests, dive instructors and tourism guides. A combination of outreach visits and on site events is practiced. Counterpart training is also offered as part of the CCC Marine/Forest Scholarship Award Programme or through specialized workshops. Environmental education and awareness activities (EAA) are common to all CCC projects. As well as the specific EEA activities targeting particular stakeholder audiences, the presence of a CCC project in a region also raises environmental awareness through a variety of approaches. A series of workshops and presentations held when CCC begins a new project initiates the process by explaining the reasoning behind the presence of the NGO. This means of transferring information is also used extensively in the latter stages of a project when the recommendations for the conservation of coral reef habitats and resources are presented to local stakeholders and project partners.  |
