GCC and Hoedspruit Reptile Centre Visit Salani Primary School
How do you feel about snakes?! Recently, GCC partnered with the Hoedspruit Reptile Centre and their SECAP program to educate and inspire local youth about reptiles. Many youth and local community members express a huge amount of fear and superstition towards snakes, which often results in lethal snake bites and many snake fatalities. So on the 23th September, our partners brought live snakes to Salani Primary School to measure and improve the perceptions of reptiles. We deployed our mobile digital classroom to measure the impact of the day (results coming soon), conducted theoretical lessons, and even allowed youth to get photos with a python. Be sure to watch the recap video!
