The project Floating Forward Egypt aims to create increased environmental awareness through interactive initiatives in schools. By supporting the introduction of the issue into Egyptian educational discourse, future generations will grow up with a comprehensive understanding of environmental protection.

The measures will be implemented in cooperation with Egyptian environmental protection organizations and the Ministry of Education. To this end, training programs will be developed for Egyptian teachers and representatives of the Egyptian Ministry of Education, among others, and networking with local NGOs and civil society structures will be expanded.
