About Us

Our mission

To instil environmental literacy through experiential and service learning, fostering a deep connection with nature and empowering all individuals to become stewards of our planet.

Messages we hope bring across

Besides learning about the environment, we hope to teach the following messages as well.

1. "Every action has a consequence."

There is an intricate web of connections between living organisms and their surroundings. Every action has far-reaching consequences on ecosystems, biodiversity, and environmental processes.

2. "Everyone can play a role and take action!"

Everyone can inspire action with a sense of responsibility and agency in addressing environmental challenges. By examining real-world issues such as climate change, pollution, and habitat destruction, we equip students with the knowledge and skills to become effective advocates for positive change.

3. "Conscious Consumer Choices."

Through exploring topics such as renewable energy, conservation, and waste management, we empower individuals to make informed decisions that preserve natural resources for future generations.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • 01 Do we need to be outdoors?

    Not all the time! While we believe that experiencing the outdoors is crucial for fostering a love and appreciation for nature, we can adapt our sessions to various settings.

    However, in the event that outdoor activities are not feasible, we can still provide valuable educational talks on-site to ensure that learning and engagement are maximized.

  • Yes, we do! We have a ton of engaging hands-on experiences to instil recycling in practice, making environmental education and the call to action come alive.

    We do this together with our friends from ReThink Good to run recycling workshops catering to multiple waste streams, ranging from plastic, glass, textiles, to even paper (and many more)!

  • Terra Academy is motivated by a commitment to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to become effective stewards of the environment, fostering a sustainable future for generations to come.

    We believe education should be made accessible to as many as possible, and while we do charge fees for our workshops, excess profits are used to support our offshore projects, ensuring that our impact extends beyond the classroom to directly benefit the environment and wildlife.

  • Yes we do! Feel free to drop us a message so we can discuss more.
