Exchange program for our environmental education teams<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Mira, Sarah, Musmulyadi, Iswandi, Riska and Siska, it was their first trip outside Indonesia and they were very excited about everything we put together for them. Our guests learned a lot about our programmes, courses and working methods. In daily exchanges, our employees from the Birds of Prey Station, the Nature Centre and the office also learned how environmental education is carried out on Sumatra. In the past, there were few points of contact between the various programmes and their environmental education teams, even though they all work with similar goals and visions. With the environmental educator exchange programme, we are now initiating a transnational learning process in which the teams can learn with and from each other. The intercultural exchange should be both personally enriching for everyone and provide mutual inspiration for the range of services offered by each environmental education centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mira is the programme coordinator for environmental education at the environmental education centre PPLH Bohorok\/Sumatra. She started working there ten years ago as a trainee. Today, she guides school classes and tourist groups through the environmental education centre every day and leads them in various activities.

Iswandi coordinates the environmental education programme at PPLH Seloliman\/Java. Entire schools come to the environmental education centre to learn about environmental protection in practice. In addition, the PPLH Seloliman also offers guided tours for private companies looking for an excursion with environmental education activities. He himself is often out and about in the training garden with the various groups of guests.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Riska is also part of the education team at Orangutan Haven and develops modules for the different school levels. As a former teacher at a private school, she has a lot of experience in nature-based forms of teaching, which she can bring to the tours.

What do we want to achieve with the exchange?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, the various programmes and environmental education teams have had little contact, even though we have similar goals and visions. With the exchange programme for environmental educators, we are now able to learn from each other. The intercultural exchange is intended to be both a personal enrichment for everyone, as well as to provide mutual inspiration for the range of programmes offered by each environmental education centre. The Indonesian delegation made the first visit, and in July, two environmental educators from Switzerland will tour the four centres (PPLH) in Indonesia.
Of course, a few tourist destinations should not be missing from the exchange as you can see in the following pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Janos, Project Manager Environmental Education PanEco:
\u00abThe Indonesian delegation was particularly amazed at how clean Switzerland is and how aware many people are of how to deal with waste. Our Indonesian guests were very impressed by the way the schools teach in a calm, benevolent manner and the independence with which the students were able to tackle tasks.\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Environmental education is a central component of nature conservation in Switzerland as well as in Indonesia. This is why we have invested more heavily in exchanges between the environmental education teams in our programmes this year. To kick things off, six delegates from our four environmental education centres in Indonesia recently visited us in Berg am Irchel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[104],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-paneco-en-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paneco.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paneco.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paneco.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paneco.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paneco.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39242"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/paneco.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39242\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39491,"href":"https:\/\/paneco.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39242\/revisions\/39491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paneco.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paneco.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paneco.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
