SDG 6.5.1 Water management educational opportunities
1. To assist the sustainable development of the environment in the local community, help residents understand sustainable development goals and effective strategies to achieve them, and provide the local community with high-level knowledge about water management, NCUE’s Environmental Education Center has launched corresponding training programs targeting local residents. Additionally, 24-hour and 33-hour intensive courses were implemented to extend the knowledge of the team of local teachers to ensure the joint care of the local environment. These courses are open not only to school faculty and students but also benefit community members, providing them with knowledge about water resource management and water quality protection. Course information is shown in Table 1, and photos are shown in Figures 1-2:
