Roots & Shoots |
Roots & Shoots is JGI’s international environmental education programme which operates over 100 countries. We at JGI strongly believe that it is only through encouraging and inspiring young people to take positive action in their own communities that they are able to make a positive difference in the future.
The aims of the Roots & Shoots programme are:
- To increase the awareness and knowledge of young people;
- To stimulate their compassion for the world around them; and
- To help them to take positive action in support of animals, people and the environment.
The programme is based on the four key elements of the Roots & Shoots philosophy:
- Action – practical work in support of all living things.
- Educational – and fun.
- Compassionate – values based.
- Inspirational – you can make a difference.
The benefits to schools and their pupils of joining Roots & Shoots are:
