CASE STUDY: THE JANE GOODALL INSTITUTE www.thejanegoodallinstitute.com www.rootsnshoots.ae
DP World is supporting the Jane Goodall Institute’s (JGI) global humanitarian and environmental youth programme Roots & Shoots. The JGI is a collection of 24 community conservation organisations around the world that advance the vision and work of Dr Jane Goodall, DBE, Founder – the JGI & UN Messenger of Peace. The partnership with DP World is being led by the JGI in the UK. One of JGI’s key programmes is Roots & Shoots, a worldwide movement of thousands of passionate young people who are empowered to make a significant impact across more than 60 countries.
Whether it’s natural disasters, homelessness, pollution or climate change, Roots & Shoots groups are embracing challenges and creating real positive change across the globe. Our partnership with JGI’s Roots & Shoots programme will support the expansion of the programme across key locations in Africa, whilst also supporting the development of the teaching resources. We are collaborating with the JGI to produce resources for teachers and Roots & Shoots groups on the role of ports and how they relate to the sustainability agenda.
These resources will encourage students to take part in a variety of activities, whilst also developing key skills in IT, Engagement, Teamwork, Respect and compassion, confidence in themselves and others and becoming better global citizens. We will also be using our platform at Expo 2020 Dubai to highlight the need for youth to engage in their local communities and utilise our large network of employees to connect with youth, through Roots & Shoots, in the communities we work in.
