The Centre is continually building up “country
libraries” of environmental education materials and a computer database
of these resources. There are currently over 2000 resources available
at the Centre. Three directories on people, places and publications were
produced based on the information existent in our database and are available
at the Centre. These are produced in both printed and electronic versions,
are updated regularly, and are valuable tools for networking.
A review of existing materials in the SADC region is often done prior
to developing new resources. One way in which the Regional EE Programme
has endeavoured to facilitate this is through its collection and housing
of environmental education resource materials from the SADC region in
‘Country Cupboards’ at the Regional EE Centre. All the SADC
member states have a ‘Country Cupboard’ where country materials
on environmental and management issues are displayed as well as environmental
education materials. The adaptation and re-development of existing materials,
where appropriate, can save time and resources and can also provide suggestions
for improving or modifying the original resource. |
