Wheel2Wheel: GECKO selected as W2W’s China charity

Wheel2Wheel is delighted to announce our support for the GECKO project in China.

 

GECKO

 

 

 

 

Greennovate Environmental Challenge for Kids Outreach (GECKO) is an outreach program that offers free, innovative educational programs on the environment and sustainability for middle and high school students in China.

 

GECKO’s goal is to inspire children to become environmental ambassadors in their communities and to encourage their friends, families, and future employers to develop a more sustainable lifestyle.

 

Considering the size, rapid development and economic significance of China, by encouraging the next generation of citizens and leaders to think green and supporting them with a cutting-edge learning curriculum, the long term global impact of this work could be tremendous.

 

GECKO, led by a dynamic and forward-thinking environmental consultant, Mihela Hladin, is already achieving sucess.  Since 2008, GECKO has trained hundreds of educators and is delivering its programme to thousands of school children across China.  But there is much more to be done.  With the ambitious goals of reaching 50,000 students in 200 schools across 20 provinces in the year ahead, Wheel2Wheel are thrilled to put our efforts behind Ms Hladin and her team.

 

The GECKO project is an initiative of the Greennovate Foundation.  Visit www.greennovate.org to learn more.  And look out for more updates from Wheel2Wheel.
