• Involves values clarification: it should involve the exploration of personal assumptions, values and feelings towards self and society as well as the relationship of self and society to the natura... l world • Problem solving – environmental education involves helping learners to developing relevant thinking processes for effective resolution of complex environmental problems • It should employ hands-on experiences and activities: environmental education requires the utilization of real-life situations where learning is explored through real life experiences and activities which foster a deep respect and love for the natural world • It is environmental issue oriented: it entails the use of local environmental issues, as well as case studies, role play, simulation and games which provide opportunities to engage in, examine and participate in the complexities of decision-making, development of personal and alternative environmental values and experiencing of the actual function of natural and human- made systems • It must be life-long learning – environmental education is not reactive but continually assesses the present and promotes an ideology for a desirable and better future 1.2. Tbilisi Principles Consider the environment in its totality—natural and built, technological and social, be a continuous lifelong process, beginning at the preschool level and continuing through all formal and non-formal stages; be interdisciplinary in its approach, drawing on the specific content of each discipline in making possible a holistic and balanced perspective; examine major environmental issues from local, national, regional, and international points of view so that students receive insights into environmental conditions in other geographical areas; focus on current and potential environmental situations while taking into account the historical perspective; 2. The Anthropocene defines an era win which humankind has become a geological force, the Age of Humans, with impacts of global proportions. Since the beginning of the 17th century, humankind has altered the Earth’ systems at geological scale. The key drivers are human population growth, economic growth, war, pollution and environmental degradation. The effects of the Anthropocene include such global environmental crises as biodiversity loss, introduction and spread of alien invasive species, and species extinction; environmental degradation, deforestation and desertification; water, air and land pollution; health hazards; climate change. ........................................................................CONTINUED.............................................................
