Our program aims to educate children aged 5-12 about the 17 Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the United Nations through 30 hours of interactive and experiential educational activities. By the end of the program, we expect children to have a deeper understanding of each SDG topic, such as poverty, education, climate action, and gender equality, and how they can contribute to achieving these goals.
Our program is designed to train secondary school students aged 12-18. It consists of an 8-hour program that includes:
This program is inspired by Dr. Jane's remarkable dedication to conservation, as she travels 300 days a year to share her insights worldwide with the aim of promoting lifelong learning and contribution, particularly among individuals aged 55 and above.

Supported by the Environment and Conservation Fund (ECF) and the Environmental Campaign Committee, JGIHK has successfully launched the ECF Shoreline Cleanup KOL Programme, inspired by the influential young climate change activist, Greta Thunberg. This pioneering initiative adopts a "train the trainer" approach, empowering children and teenagers who are passionate about marine conservation to actively engage in educational endeavors. Participants underwent comprehensive training in shoreline clean-ups, while also utilizing their own social media platforms to raise awareness about marine conservation. They actively participated in competitions, online sharing platforms, and public sessions to inspire widespread public engagement in marine conservation, waste reduction, and sustainable living practices.
The program comprised the following key components:
By incorporating these diverse elements, the program aimed to deepen participants' understanding of marine conservation, cultivate their advocacy skills, and empower them to become influential voices within their communities. Through their proactive involvement, these young leaders played a pivotal role in promoting environmental stewardship, waste reduction, and the adoption of sustainable lifestyles.
Through the "Ecology, Sensory Drawing, and Storytelling Workshop" that integrates science, art drawing, sensory experiences, and guided storytelling, the public can utilize their senses to experience nature and become ambassadors for protecting ecosystems, promoting biodiversity, and environmental conservation.
By organizing outdoor excursions such as the "Ecology Revealed through Sensory Drawing" weekend activity, participants are introduced to the characteristics of different animals and plants, their important roles in the ecosystem, and basic ecological drawing techniques. Through brushstrokes, the beauty of nature is recorded, aiming to instill in the public a sense of cherishing every species and understanding the importance of biodiversity.
By designing and publishing an "Ecological Sketchbook" that incorporates biodiversity knowledge, ecological drawings, and participants' activity experiences and feelings, biodiversity knowledge is integrated into sensory drawing. Understanding leads to care, and care leads to conservation, fostering a greater appreciation and love for nature among the public.
The Little Jane Nurturing Program is a key project by JGIHK, aimed at empowering underprivileged youth, aged 8-12, by enhancing their understanding of nature and fostering their confidence to contribute to the environment and community. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Jane's experiences, character, behavior, and values, the program incorporates experiential learning.
The program consists of two main components:
Training:
Workshops:
Through these activities, participants gain valuable knowledge and skills while developing a deep appreciation for nature and the importance of environmental stewardship.
In the 2020/21 period, JGIHK successfully organized the Play Green in Link Community Programme, thanks to the generous sponsorship provided by the Link Together Initiatives. This impactful initiative operated across four districts, catering to the needs of children and parents alike. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the programme managed to surpass expectations. Our "Play Green" tour attracted a greater number of families (136) compared to our initial projection of 120. This enthusiastic response underscored their keen interest in exploring environmental topics and community engagement through interactive games.
The positive feedback we received from participants served as a catalyst for us to expand our repertoire of activities that seamlessly integrate green issues, community development, and skills enhancement. These engaging activities not only equip participants with a deeper understanding of environmental principles but also foster a stronger sense of connection to their community and surroundings. Consequently, participants are motivated to actively learn and voice their opinions on issues of personal importance. This process lies at the heart of empowering children and nurturing their ability to create positive change within their communities.
