JGI are seeking highly motivated teachers to work with them and help deliver environmental education workshops for teachers in Uganda. The program focuses on the integration of environmental education into the Uganda Primary School Curriculum, by teaching strategies and activities that children can understand. The next session will run in July 2011. Application deadline: February 13, 2011. More information
