[ELTeCS_PERU] World Environment Day

June 5    World Environment Day   

World Environment Day is an annual event that is aimed at being the biggest and most widely celebrated global day for positive environmental action. World Environment Day activities take place all year round and climax on 5 June every year, involving everyone from everywhere.
The World Environment Day celebration began in 1972 and has grown to become one of the main vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and encourages political attention and action.

Through World Environment Day, the United Nations Environment Programme is able to personalize environmental issues and enable everyone to realize not only their responsibility, but also their power to become agents for change in support of sustainable and equitable development.
World Environment Day is also a day for people from all walks of life to come together to ensure a cleaner, greener and brighter outlook for themselves and future generations.

Everyone counts in this initiative and World Environment Day relies on you to make it happen! We call for action — organize a neighborhood clean-up, stop using plastic bags and get your community to do the same, stop food waste, walk to work, start a recycling drive . . . the possibilities are endless.

Dear ELTeCS PERU Member

This one here is a great activity you would have been missing if this alert hadn´t been created... but you are in fact missing lots more just because you haven´t visited our Facebook page! 
Don´t be left out!!!! (Email WILL NOT be used for all ELTeCS PERU alerts in the near future, just some of them will be posted...you´ve been warned!!!).

There are many qualitative differences in course books, yet teachers in schools are often expected to use and follow them. Furthermore, the instructions in the accompanying teacher’s books can be very limited in interaction. This webinar will look at ways newer and aspiring teachers can employ tasks that exploit and/or supplement course books more effectively.
