Faculty of Science, Burapha University, in collaboration with the Teacher and Educational Personnel Development Division (GLOBE) of the Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology (IPST), is committed to advancing environmental education in schools. The initiative aims to enhance teachers’ and students’ understanding of their local environment while cultivating 21st-century learning skills, innovation, and core competencies necessary for sustainable living in harmony with nature. Through hands-on environmental activities and collaborative environmental research among students, teachers, and scientists, the project seeks to raise awareness of local environmental conservation.
In alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4: Quality Education, SDG 13: Climate Action, SDG 14: Life Below Water, and SDG 15: Life on Land, the Faculty of Science, Burapha University, is organizing the “Environmental STEM Learning Promotion Project in Connection with Climate Change, Fiscal Year 2025 (GLOBE DAY)” on Friday, August 29, 2025, at CL 101, Basic Science Laboratory and Scientific Instrument Center, Faculty of Science, Burapha University, Chonburi Province. The event will feature two types of presentations: activity-based showcases and research-based exchanges, with the participation of six schools.
