Empowering Sustainable Development through Technical and Vocational Education and Training
At Samale Institute, we are committed to integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into our Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs. Our initiative focuses on “greening” TVET to prepare students for sustainable practices and contribute to environmental conservation efforts in Somalia.
The SDGs provide a universal framework for addressing global challenges, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice. By incorporating SDGs into TVET, we ensure that our graduates are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development and contribute positively to their communities and the environment.
Curriculum Integration: We have integrated SDGs and environmental sustainability principles into our TVET curriculum. Key areas of focus include:
Educating students on the importance of environmental conservation and sustainable practices.
Introducing students to eco-friendly technologies and practices in various vocational fields.
Providing training on renewable energy technologies and their application in vocational contexts.
Our programs emphasize hands-on learning and practical applications of green principles:
Hands-on workshops and demonstrations on sustainable technologies and practices.
Exposing students to sustainable businesses and projects to learn from real-world examples.
Assigning projects that encourage students to develop solutions to local environmental challenges.
Graduates equipped with knowledge and skills to promote sustainable practices in their workplaces and communities.
Fostering partnerships with local communities and stakeholders to address environmental issues collaboratively.
Aligning TVET outcomes with SDG targets related to education (SDG 4), climate action (SDG 13).
