Earthducation is a program by Save Philippine Seas (SPS) that aims to increase conservation literacy, teach basic and transferable skills to pursue environmental education, and instill appreciation for nature and the immediate environment.
The Earthducation Kit
The Earthducation Program was designed for formal and non-formal educators (e.g., public/private school teachers and workshop facilitators). From 2013-2019, SPS organized various Earthducation workshops around the country. In light of the current travel restrictions and limitations on mass gatherings, we developed and designed the Earthducation Kit to continue achieving our objectives.
We produced 50 Earthducation Kits for our pilot run. These have been distributed to public school teachers, media practitioners, and environmental educators.

Earthducation Manual and Activity Guide
The Earthducation Manual aims to educate, enlighten, inspire, and empower educators to implement practices towards creating an eco learning space.
The Manual begins with a background on the Philippine environment, followed by chapters on key environmental themes with recommendations on practices and lifestyle changes.
Each chapter also provides links to multimedia resources that educators and learners can use for each activity.

The Earthducation Activity Guide is the accompanying resource of the
Earthducation Manual.
Each chapter in the Activity Guide matches the themes in the Manual and presents activities that educators can do with learners in the physical and virtual eco learning space.
The interactive activities present an opportunity to immediately apply knowledge learned from the Manual and enhance the learners' understanding of the underlying principles, processes, and procedures.
PREVIEW PAGES OF THE EARTHDUCATION MANUAL AND ACTIVITY GUIDE
The digital copies for both documents and the resource conservation report cards are available at a donation of PhP 1,000.00. The fee will support Save Philippine Seas' efforts to improve conservation literacy in the country. 🇵🇭
