What a way to wrap up! The GTUYTP Green Schools Initiative 2.0 concluded on a high note with tree nursery activities at Seno Bajonki LBS and Soma Upper and Senior School. These two incredible schools marked the final stops in a four-day journey across eight schools in Region 4, where together we’ve sown the seeds – quite literally – for a greener future.

More than 4,000 seeds have been planted as part of this transformative exercise, ensuring that the roots of sustainability run deep in our communities.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Green-Up Gambia, our exceptional partner in this initiative. Your collaboration has been instrumental in turning this vision into reality. Together, we are creating a legacy of environmental awareness and action for generations.

🌿 DAY TWO OF THE GTUYTP GREEN SCHOOLS INITIATIVE 2.0 🌿

In collaboration with Green-Up Gambia, the Gambia Teachers’ Union Young Teachers Platform (GTUYTP) continues its commitment to fostering environmental stewardship and sustainability in schools.

The Green Schools Initiative 2.0 (GSI) aims to plant and nurture 4,000 trees across 8 schools in Region 4, creating greener and more sustainable learning environments.

📅 Day 2 - 17th December brought us to Jiffin Lower Basic School and Jenoi Lower Basic School where students and teachers joined hands to make a lasting impact. Together, we planted trees to combat climate change and inspire young minds to care for our planet.

The GSI is more than just planting trees; it's about cultivating a generation of eco-conscious citizens and ensuring a greener future for The Gambia.

In partnership with Green-Up Gambia, the Gambia Teachers’ Union Young Teachers’ Platform (GTUYTP) rolls out the GTUYTP Green School Initiative 2.0!
This GSI 2.0 is dedicated to nurturing 4,000 plants across 8 schools in Region 4, fostering environmental sustainability and instilling an eco-conscious culture in schools and communities.

The 2024 initiative kicked off at Nioro Jattaba Sakandi UB/SSS and Kwinella UB/SSS, where students and teachers actively participated in nursing plants and preparing for their growth journey.

The Green Schools Initiative is rooted in building greener and healthier school environments, contributing to reforestation and climate action efforts, and educating and empowering young minds to champion sustainability

Power to EIA❗️

It's Summer Time❗️ And at the GTUYTP, we are gearing up for the GTUYTP Green Schools Initiative 2.0.

Last year in August, we launched the Green Schools Initiative. Through the support of our partner the Green-Up Gambia, we planted more than 100 trees in five schools, namely Darsilami BCS, Pallen Amdallai LBS, Kerr Ardo BCS, Kerr Ma Ali Awa LBS in the North Bank Region and Chamen UBS/SSS in CRR North.

Monitoring reports from our Regional Coordinators indicate 90% survival of the trees. We are motivated to go bigger this year.

On Tuesday, our Vice Chairperson and Regional Youth Coordinator for Kanifing Municipality met officials of Green Up Gambia to discuss with them on strengthening our partnership towards staging the GSI 2.0

We are excited that the officials expressed the resolve of the organisation in partnering us in this endeavour.

The GSI is an educators' initiative designed to combat the impact of climate change. A way of contributing to the global call to action against climate change.

Watch out as we roll out the GSI 2.0
