A few years back, I attended an Environmental Education summer course at the Miriam ESI where i learned environmental principles, and how each relates to how we live life on earth. It was a great learning experience, especially for people who do lectures, who teach environment, for the sessions showcased different teaching methods — from the basic lecture type, to videos, to songs and games, to immersion.

Our class at Biak-na-Bato, with Dr. Galang.
