Doha, Qatar: At the forefront of Qatar's environmental education landscape stands Qatar Foundation’s Earthna Center for a Sustainable Future, the national operator for the Eco-Schools program in Qatar.
With its roots tracing back to the Foundation for Environmental Education's global network established in 1994, the legacy of Eco- Schools spans three decades. And since its inception in Qatar in 2018, this international initiative has been dedicated to empowering students to spearhead sustainable change within their communities.
The program plays a pivotal role in cultivating environmental awareness among Qatari youth, with its most recent milestone being successfully engaging with 20 public schools in Qatar.
Ruba Hinnawi, Technical Lead at Earthna, said: "In the academic year 2023-2024, we worked with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education and welcomed onboard 20 public schools and trained 67 teachers.
