Description
and Evaluation |
In 2007-08, the energy and
environmental chapters were expanded to link the use of fossil fuels
with global warming and climate change. The Green Pack is an environmental
education package, which was originally developed in 2001-04 with
support from Toyota.
Since 2001, the Green Pack has been implemented in 9 countries. Over
22,000 Green Packs have been produced, more than 15,000 teachers have
been trained to use it, and some 1.8 million students have been taught
using its interactive multimedia materials.
In 2013,
Dilemmas & Tests were added and published to the Central Asian version.
The resources were placed to a new platform.
In 2015 it was used in Belarus for training.
