Alef Education launches the Alef EcoChamps Summer Program for UAE school students

Abu Dhabi – Alef Education, a UAE-based global leader in educational technology, has partnered with the Ministry of Education, Cambridge Partnership for Education – a department of Cambridge University Press & Assessment, and the Carbon Literacy Project to offer the Alef EcoChamps Summer Program for students in Grades 5-8 in the United Arab Emirates. This innovative program aims to raise awareness about climate change and promote sustainable practices among students nationwide. In a first for the MENA region, it will give students the opportunity to complete a certified carbon literacy course. The Alef EcoChamps Summer Program, designed specifically for UAE students, consists of 10 lessons aligned with Ministry of Education curriculum topics, including energy, the Earth's biosphere, consumption, climate action, and innovation for sustainability. The course will be offered through the Alef Platform from July 24 to August 06, 2023, with a more extensive second component available in the first semester of the new academic year in September. This timeline aligns with the upcoming United Nations COP28 Summit on Climate Change in Dubai in November 2023. The self-study course is available in Arabic and English. H.E.
