Environmental Education in the Classroom
August 27 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT
Free
Join Sound Vision Canada and dive into an online session with Aadil Nathani, co-founder of Green Ummah, where faith and environmental stewardship go hand in hand. Educators are invited to explore classroom learning material designed to inspire youth to make a positive impact on the world, fostering a deeper understanding of our role as stewards of the Earth.
The webinar topics include:
- Who is Green Ummah?
- The Greening Our Communities Toolkit
- The Green Ummah Outdoor Resource Guides
The Greening our Communities Toolkit is a ready-to-teach curriculum which provides educators with a toolbox to teach Muslim youth about sustainability, Islam, and environmental justice in the Canadian context. The learning material is designed for educators teaching middle/high school and consists of two packages:
1) Islam and the Environment
2) Worldviews, Justice, and the Environment
Green Ummah Guides are ready-to-use resources created to assist Muslim families in engaging with nature and contributing to creating a more sustainable planet. The goal is to foster a deeper connection to wildlife and nature, prompt reflections and connections with the Quran and Islamic teachings, and to share knowledge on conservation efforts for these habitats.
Join us online to learn how you can provide students and families with a new perspective on being green.
