Project WET's partner in Mongolia, the Center for Citizenship Education (CCE), has finished a busy summer training formal and informal educators to use-and to train others to use-recently translated versions of Project WET's water education materials. In three workshops, nearly 100 teachers, NGO workers and agency attendees learned how to incorporate interactive water education activities into their educational programs. Twenty facilitators were also certified during a facilitators' workshop, and seven Mongolian National Park staff attended an environmental education seminar led by CCE. The CCE water education program in Mongolia focuses on students from Kindergarten through 12th grade.
