Nine students graduated successfully at the WASCAL Master Research Program “Climate Change and Education” at the University of the Gambia. In the picture: The graduates at the celebration ceremony on December 2, 2015.
The two-year Master’s Research Program on Climate Change and Education in the Gambia builds climate change expertise of students from the ten West African WASCAL countries in an inspiring, multi-disciplinary and intercultural learning environment.
Each year, ten to twenty students are admitted to
the program, which has a focus on developing skills in communication,
education and public relations. These skills are highly relevant for
policy-advice, public awareness building on climate change, as well as
for the implementation of adaptation programs.
