Green Steps - Bildung im Einklang mit der Natur
St.Pölten, Austria
Description
Green Steps is a small international NGO which was originally founded by two Europeans in Shanghai. In St. Pölten, we have developed 25 different routes in city parks and suburban spaces, which we use as "mobile campus" to drive environmental empathy and systems understanding. We divide our work time between the office and nature. Outdoor activities: - supporting nature guides, mapping old trees - possibly leading outdoor activities (once you have completed the nature guide training) - assisting in the design of new activities. Office activities: - designing flyers - social media management - translating English teaching material - designing and proofreading species & concept ID cards - designing offline games.
