CARE PROGRAMME
CARE Programme – A Transformative Climate Education Initiative by OACRI
The Ocean and Climatic Research Institute (OACRI) proudly introduces the CARE Programme—a pioneering initiative designed to educate, empower, and inspire children under the age of 10 in Climate Action, Resilience, and Emotion (CARE). Recognizing the urgent need to integrate climate education from an early age, OACRI has developed this program to nurture young climate leaders while equipping communities with the knowledge to build resilience against environmental challenges..
🌍 What is the CARE Programme?
The CARE Programme is a child-focused initiative that blends scientific learning, emotional intelligence, and community engagement to help young children understand:
✔️ Climate Action – The importance of protecting our planet through simple actions and awareness.
✔️ Resilience – How individuals and communities can prepare for and recover from climate-related challenges.
✔️ Emotion – Helping children process and respond to climate change with optimism and empowerment rather than fear.
Through interactive storytelling, hands-on activities, and school outreach programs, the CARE Programme ensures that climate education is engaging, age-appropriate, and action-driven.
🏫 School & Community Outreach
The CARE Programme extends beyond traditional classroom learning by actively engaging with:
✅ Primary Schools – Integrating climate and resilience education into early learning.
✅ Community-Based Learning – Bringing knowledge directly to young children in villages and coastal communities.
✅ Interactive Workshops – Fun, engaging activities that simplify complex climate topics.
✅ School Competitions & Events – Encouraging creativity and innovation in climate solutions.
OACRI works closely with teachers, parents, and community leaders to ensure children receive accurate, empowering, and culturally relevant climate education.
📚 Educational Resources for Schools & Teachers
A key component of the CARE Programme is the development of high-quality educational materials to support teachers and educators in delivering impactful climate education. These include:
📖 Storybooks & Illustrated Learning Materials – Colorful, engaging books that make climate science easy to understand.
🌐 Knowledge Hub – A digital platform featuring interactive lessons, fun activities, and climate facts tailored for young learners.
🎓 Teacher Training Modules – Equipping educators with the tools to integrate climate resilience education into their curriculum.
By creating accessible resources, OACRI ensures that primary school teachers and community educators are well-equipped to teach climate action, resilience, and emotional well-being.
🌱 Why CARE?
The CARE Programme is more than just education—it is a movement to inspire a generation of resilient, climate-conscious individuals who understand their role in protecting the planet. By fostering knowledge, emotional resilience, and action, CARE ensures that children are not only aware of climate change but are also equipped to become future changemakers.
Through strategic partnerships, innovative learning methods, and localized outreach, OACRI’s CARE Programme is committed to shaping a sustainable future, one child at a time.
Together, we CARE for the planet, our communities, and future generations. 🌍💙
