It targets Geology Students of High Schools and engages them in activities that help them to discover the earth sciences and strives to increase public awareness of the vital role the geosciences play in the society’s use of resources, resiliency to natural hazards, and interaction with the environment.

The project aims at empowering young school children and their teachers with knowledge and skills to enable them tackle climate and related environmental issues in their schools, homes and the community at large.
