On June 2, 2024, the EMC Foundation joined an exhibition organized by the Environmental Protection Agency to celebrate World Environment Day 2024. The event was filled with educational and engaging activities, emphasizing the importance of small actions and the belief that people can work towards a resilient and thriving Guyana.
The EMC Foundation exhibition booth showcased the Foundation’s publications and a slideshow displaying the Foundation’s activities, capturing visitors’ interest. The booth featured two interactive environmental-themed games. The first game challenged participants to voice their opinions on how they would address selected environmental issues, while the second tested their skills with a turtle-themed crossword puzzle to be completed within five minutes. Winners of these games were rewarded with EMC Foundation publications.
The exhibition event attracted representatives from schools, the private sector, and the public sector including Ministries and State agencies. It provided a unique opportunity for those present to learn about the EMC Foundation’s significant role in environmental conservation. Through interactive displays and informative sessions, visitors gained insights into the Foundation’s achievements and the importance of raising awareness for collective action on environmental conservation.
