The Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), through its Green Economy and Tourism Committee, hosted a series of environmental awareness sessions for secondary school students under the theme “Partnering for a Sustainable Future.”

The sessions were held on October 29 and November 2 at the GCCI Boardroom, and on November 4 at the GCCI Micro and Women Entrepreneur Learning Centre. The sessions welcomed students from St. John’s College, Christ Church Secondary School, and St. George’s School of Sciences.

Facilitated by Candacie Brower-Thompson, the sessions focused on environmental education and stewardship, highlighting the importance of understanding environmental issues and taking responsibility for protecting the natural environment. Delmar Walcott, GCCI Councillor and Chairperson of the Green Economy and Tourism Committee, was also in attendance.

Students explored the roles of key environmental organisations in Guyana and participated in interactive activities.

These sessions formed part of GCCI’s Environmental Awareness Series for students and teachers from selected secondary schools across Guyana.

GCCI acknowledges the support of the Ministry of Education in facilitating this initiative and extends its appreciation to Dynotech Construction Chemicals Inc. , Pinnacle Solutions Inc., and Professional Guard Service (PGS) for their generous donations towards the workshops
