Enhancing geoscience awareness through educational outreach: Programmes for Namibian learners and educators
This report highlights geoscience outreach efforts by the Geoinformation Division of the Geological Survey of Namibia (GSN), focusing on initiatives to align geoscience topics with current school curricula and inspire learners and educators with the importance of geoscience. In 2024, Re-gional Geoscience Outreach Programmes in the Kunene and Omusati Regions engaged over 2 500 learners, while Geoscience Teachers‘ Workshops in the //Karas and Erongo Regions involved 17 edu-cators and 500 learners (teachers). These programmes were based on presenting practical applications of geoscience, with the intention to foster interest in science concepts and provide career guidance in the field of geoscience. Through interactive activities at schools and educator focused workshops, these initiatives demonstrated means for geoscience to bridge the gap between science and classroom learning, and its practical application. Keywords: Geoscience education, outreach.
