If you look at the Environmental Education links at the side of the page, one is for a calendar, something we just set up. We are trying to gather information about events of all the various organizations so that each knows what is going on. Please send information about your organizations events so that they can be posted.
Thankyou

Nicole Wulff, Personal Narrative
Hello! Welcome to BEECN! We decided to create this communication network so that we all have a common space where we can share information about environmental education activities, programs, etc. going on at the different institutions and organizations in Belize.
We thought this would be a good idea because for example, we’re holding an Earth Day event on campus (see below). Now, we could send out a heap of emails to let all the organizations know but it’s much easier just to post an entry on this blog one time therefore, making communication faster and easier.
There are a lot of wonderful environmental education activities and programs happening around the country but sometimes, in our experience, we don’t find out until after the event has passed! Also, sometimes if we are working in isolation from each other there can be efforts duplicated. For example, if 2 organizations are working independently to design lesson plans that align with the primary school curriculum. If the 2 groups worked together, they could each accomplish more by sharing resources.
Hopefully, this blog could help us stay in touch with each other but in order to be effective, people have to participate otherwise it’s of no use. So, we’re asking you, the major players in environmental education in Belize, to please contribute and make it a success!
