The Office of Climate Change (OCC) of the Ministry of the Presidency (MoTP) on Friday visited three schools in East Berbice-Corentyne (Region Six) to continue its countrywide Climate Change sessions.

It did this in collaboration with the Caribbean Youth Environment Network (CYEN).  A release from MoTP said that the team comprising staff from the OCC and volunteers from the CYEN, delivered 90-minute sessions at the All Saints Primary, the New Amsterdam Multilateral and the Manchester Secondary Schools.

The release said that short videos detailing the effects of rising sea levels and importance of water management among other related areas, were shown to the students.
