The Problem We Address
Urbanisation and screen time are disconnecting Cape Town’s youth from nature, leading to Nature Deficit Disorder (NDD). The Connect to Nature programme bridges this gap by fostering environmental education and inspiring long-term care for our planet. Hands-on outdoor experiences foster environmental awareness and education, empowering future conservationists.

Bringing Environmental Education to Schools

Designed for foundational and intermediate phases, they use engaging stories and interactive games to spark a love for nature. They integrate easily into lesson plans, cover all eight focus areas, and provide fun, hands-on learning experiences.
