OUR JOURNEY INTO GREW
The 1st Penang Eco-Schools camp was held on 21st to 23rd of February 2020 before Covid-19 Pandemic. In this 3 days 2 nights camp, the green educators in Penang met for the first time to discuss on further collaboration in ESD and Eco-Schools Programme.
International Best Practices Sharing Session was the first collaboration among SMK Convent Pulau Tikus, SJKC Union and SJKC Eok Hua. Nearly 1,180 students from 108 primary and secondary schools from all over Malaysia, teachers’ trainee colleges and universities, as well as teachers and students from the UK, the Philippines and Turkey, participated online.
Jerome, Yee Chen and Soon Yeong meet regularly to discuss the issue on how to involve more and more schools in Penang concerning Education on Sustainable Development (ESD) and especially on the Eco-Schools Programme.
After some time, they managed to turn their passion into a reality by successfully setting up Green Educators' Workgroup in Penang.
Inaugural General Meeting (IGM) was carried out on 11 April 2021 to kick start the GREW journey as an NGO. Advisors from IPG, USM, Schools and Committee members from JPNPP and both primary and secondary schools made the meeting a success.
After almost 2 months of the registration process with Jabatan Pendaftaran pertubuhan Malaysia, finally we managed to get the approval on the World Environment Day (WED), 5 Jun 2021. This is a great start and a good day to remember.
