During May 2025, the primary and secondary environmental clubs focused on Ecosystems and Responsible Waste Management. For the Primary Work Plan, the topics completed were inclusive of Ecosystems, Composting, Pollution, Water Quality Monitoring, Noise Pollution and Waste Disposal. Club members watched videos, created unique projects, and participated in science experiments and field trips.
For the Secondary Work Plan, the topics completed were Soil Resource & Management, Pollution and Composting. Club members watched videos, listened to presentations and engaged in class discussions.
The EMC Foundation engaged 89 students in the E-STEM program for May 2025. Activities consisted of discussions, presentations, educational videos and creative projects which all aided in fostering environmental awareness and practical learning.
During May 2025, club members demonstrated enthusiastic participation in the topics explored. They actively engaged in learning the types of ecosystems, how to compost, types of pollution and prevention methods, recognising the importance of water quality and the effects of noise pollution. They contributed to discussions on strategies for preventing pollution, how they could practice composting at home and how they could filter water. These efforts highlight their positive attitudes and proactive participation in the environmental club’s initiatives.
The EMC Foundation was established by Mr. Shyam Nokta, winner of the 2022 Anthony N Sabga Award for Entrepreneurship. The Foundation works to support environmental awareness and education in Guyana by promoting activities which encourage a greater understanding of the environment, creating a network to connect like-minded persons, and providing opportunities to experience Guyana’s rich natural environment
