GLOBE Latin America and Caribbean Regional Meeting 2018
Fifteen of the GLOBE LAC countries met for the Regional Meeting in Panama City to discuss the implementation of the GLOBE program in their countries and hear back from the Science, Education, Technology and Evaluation Working Groups about new developments.
Maria Castro de Tejeira, Vice Minister of Education of Panama, who welcomed all country representatives to Panama, emphasized how important environmental education is for Panama. After this official opening, Tony Murphy gave a presentation about the new developments in GLOBE and about the GLOBE Learning Expedition (GLE) and GLOBE Annual Meeting held in Ireland.
A wonderful video of the Ireland meeting gave a good impression of what GLOBE really is about.
