In a semi-arid grassland not unlike our own, Viktoria Keding has developed a special center to teach Namibians about environmental sustainability. In this talk, “Teaching Sustainability in Namibia,” Keding will speak about NaDeet—the Namib Desert Environmental Education Trust—which was founded to spread environmental education throughout the area.

NaDEET is a nonprofit, Namibian trust established in 2003. The NaDEET Centre is located 100 km south of Sesriem/Sossusvlei on the NamibRand Nature Reserve and the head office is located in the coastal city of Swakopmund. NaDEET believes environmental education must not only increase awareness and knowledge but also eco-friendly attitudes and skills in Namibia’s youth and educators to promote participation.

Keding will speak at the Center at 1155 Q St. The talk is free and open to the public.
