Outdoor Ambassadors: 2010-2011

To educate youth about Albania’s environment, ecology, biodiversity, waterways, and wildlife
while giving them the tools to educate and improve their local communities.
To develop youth leadership skills in areas of environmental stewardship, community service,
and team building.

Objective 1.1: 150-200 youth (aged 10-18) will be educated about Albania’s environment through
various classroom and in-the-field learning activities in Outdoor Ambassador clubs that meet weekly
between July 2010 and May 2011, as measured through the trimester club surveys.

Objective 1.2: 10 Outdoor Ambassador adult club counterparts will participate in a 2 day leadership
training, primarily in environmental education by leading experts in the field, in the Fall of 2010 to guide
and educate local clubs on the environment.

Objective 2.1: 70 youth members of Outdoor Ambassadors clubs will participate in a 5 day camp where
they will learn leadership and teamwork skills and be prepared to become conservation leaders in their
local communities by the end of the Summer of 2010.
Objective 2.2: 20 Outdoor Ambassadors student club leaders will participate in a 2 day leadership
training, primarily in project management and organizational development by leading experts in the field,
in the Fall of 2010.
Objective 2.3: 100-150 youth members of Outdoor Ambassadors clubs will plan and implement at least
18 community projects in their local cities and towns, some of which will be through partnerships with
brother and sister-OA clubs, by the end of April 2011.

Albanian Youth leadres of secondary schools focused on environment protection.
150-200 Albanian youth from Berat, Elbasan, Fier, Bishan, Burrel, Ferma-Clirim, Fushe-Kruje, Gramsh,
Ksamil, Kukes, Lezhe, Librazhd, and Peshkopi

Fifteen OA members of the Kukes club, four of whom attended the November training, conducted
environmental lessons on the following topics: the causes and consequences of air pollution, actions to
reduce air pollution, acoustic pollution, plastic bags, and other types of environmental pollution. One
hundred and sixty students from five classes took part. The Kukes club distributed 150 posters among 7-
10 local shops. The posters’ message was “Say Stop to Plastic Bags”.

The 4 leaders of the Fier club, two of whom participated at the November training, conducted peer-to-
peer environmental lessons in two-person teams in four Fier Primar schools in December, targeting 5th
year classes of 25 students each. These lessons supported the initiative of the Bashkia’s recycling
campaign, gathering its support as well as that of the Fier DAR, or Regional Education Office.

Moreover, these leaders recruited and developed capacities of new members to replace them in the
Spring semester (as the former leaders would soon graduate). Three new two-person teams analyzed
and improved the recycling lessons, this time, teaching students in the 8th year of the 9-vjecare schools
to encourage them to take a more concrete, active leadership role in their schools in the following year.
This is a very powerful example of creating sustainable action and growth in a local club by building
membership and developing club projects even after implementation.

Through the Summer Camp, the 57 Albanian campers, in 15 person teams, painted four dumpsters in
Erseke. The paintings included an environmental message to the community, and the project was
overseen and highly praised both by local and international members (Erseke’s Mayor, and Peace
Corps Albania’s Programming and Training Officer).
The 57 Albanian campers, in two separate groups of 24 and 23 respectively, cleaned two separate
locations in Erseke of trash.

Students reported an increased knowledge and appreciation of nature in the end of the camp survey
forms. The 12 clubs which participated are currently developing community projects, outdoor activities,
and youth excursions in and around their communities.
