The City of Cape Town’s Environmental Resource Management and Sport and Recreation Departments, along with the International Fund for Animal Welfare is going to host an environmental education program for schools.
According to a statement released by the City of Cape Town, the event will be at the City’s Blue Flag beaches: Bikini, Mnandi and Clifton 4th beach and at five other pilot beaches namely Fish Hoek, Strandfontein, Muizenberg, Big Bay and Camps Bay from 25 until 28 February.
The Blue Flag Beach Environmental Program forms part of the City’s Youth Environmental School (YES) which is a youth capacity building, education and awareness programme which aims to provide projects, activities, resources and opportunities for schools in Cape Town.
The Blue Flag Programme aims to teach young people the importance of safety, cleanliness and looking after the environment at beaches.
According to the criteria set by the South African Blue Flag in 2006, the campaign is an environmental education programme which could improve the way in which the environment in South Africa is managed.
