EKISC works with both formal and non-formal educators, to deliver valuable invasive species education to our community. EKISC supports educators to integrate invasive species education into their current teaching practices to enhance and diversify their student’s learning both in, and outside of, their classrooms.
We also deliver educational programs and workshops of our own. Check out our events page for workshops related to invasive species, or if you have a group that would like to arrange a workshop, contact megan@ekisc.com
Talk to us about how we can help integrate invasive species into your program!
