GREEN STONE MILITARY ACADEMY
"Although
the training system plays an important part in all the organisations,
it is still rare to any environmental protection organisation
like Green Stone putting so much emphasis on the training program."
----comments of a participator
Environmental issue is a world wide problem,
more and more youth in China are involved in this field, especially
high educated students on the campus. Without sufficient professional
NGO in China, the students are lack of resources and directions.
Thay are eager to do something but no one tells them what to do
and how to do.
In order to go out of the jam, we decide
to establish a integated training system. The courses range from
the enviromental enthnics to cooperation in a group.
"Green Stone military academy",
the name of our training program, is designed from the green students
devoted to the green career. The graduates should service in either
green stone or the environmental group in his university for at
least half a year.
The courses offer a general view of environmental
movement among the youth in China. We invite experienced professionals
in their respective fields as our instructors to ensure the instructional
value of the training.
And in China the green students are somewhat
strange in the eyes of the majority, even including their friends
and parents. This training gives the participators a good opportunity
to know the guys who have the same idea with them. They can share
their joys and tears during the movement, and encourage each other
when they are misunderstood by the majority.
Surely, the training will improve the
students' abilities that are crucial to our work, such as communication,
the acquaitance with some related regulations, etc.
