The Environmental Education Centre at Two Ocean’s Aquarium is offering locals a wonderful series of free enriching courses for learners through the Marine Sciences Academy. Grade 7 pupils can now apply to take part in the Smart Living Course which teaches young children the importance of sustainability.
Participants will learn about the concept of sustainability through themes such as water, waste biodiversity and energy. Parents can now book their child’s spot to avoid disappointment.
The course is sponsored by the City of Cape Town and encourages children to think about their impact of the environment from an early age. The course aims to inspire learners to take positive action. This will better ensure a sustainable future for the environment and the future generations that live in it.
