In October, 2014 The Young Women’s Christian Association of Trinidad and Tobago (YWCATT) once again engaged the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources (MEWR) to give support in the implementation of its environmental awareness programme entitled "Environment: Our Space Our Responsibility".
The Programme consisted of three one hour sessions with the Form 1 students of Bishops Centenary College, Roberts Street, Port-of-Spain. The programme is intended to expose young women to environmental education. Representatives of the Environmental Policy and Planning Division (EPPD) of the MEWR shared their expertise and knowledge on the areas of Biodiversity, Waste Management, Ozone layer Depletion and Climate Change.
