THE TRAINING OF TRAINERS (TOT)

ARMENIA TREE PROJECT HAS REACHED OVER 91,000 STUDENTS FROM OVER 650 EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS IN ARMENIA THROUGH ITS CLASSES AND PROGRAMS AND TRAINED OVER 1,750 TEACHERS.

ATP has a belief that the teacher is a major catalyst in changing attitudes, behaviors, and strengthening the community’s capacity for growth and understanding. By training teachers ATP hopes to have a more long term impact on Armenian society. By providing teachers with in-depth knowledge on various environmental topics, ATP aims to spread environmental awareness and skills in the communities with the help of those trained teachers.

Our Environmental Education Approach

In Armenia, changing behavior and attitudes toward the environment begins with the School Teacher as the gateway, then makes its way outside the classroom through projects that change the entire community.

Teacher Training

ATP initiated teacher training in 2005 based upon the “Plant an Idea, Plant a Tree” teacher’s manual. ATP has witnessed increasing evidence that the teacher is a major catalyst in changing attitudes and behaviors, and strengthening a community’s capacity for growth.

Eco-Clubs and Camps

The most passionate students give birth to Eco Clubs, which is followed by launching projects in their communities. Armenia Tree project has established and supports 18 Eco Clubs in Armenia.
