The Eco Learning Camp Foundation was established to develop educational activities, conservation, research, community development, and a variety of other creativity-based activities.
Among the founders and advisors of Eco Camp is Dr. Ferry Sutrisna Widjaja, a pastor who has participated in climate reality leadership corps training in Melbourne (2009), Nashville (2010) and Jakarta (2011). Ferry was a guest speaker at the Indonesia Segment of the 24 Hours of Reality 2016.
The Foundation has non-formal education programs delivered through nature and environmental discourses integrated with knowledge about the relevant science and culture to raise awareness that leads to active participation to protect nature and its environment.
On Monday, April 24, the Eco Camp welcomed climate leaders with a tea ceremony illustrating how to eternally appreciate nature, and the universe, through a cup of tea.
A series of events themed Youth Climate Day followed with a climate presentation by youth climate leader Nada Zharfania Zuhaira who was trained in 2011 when she was 13. Dr. Emilia Bassar, a climate leader trained in Manila in 2016, showed the young audience how to use games for climate change communications while Ksatria Shambala, the Eco Camp young troops, presented their activities and commitments to the environment.
The Eco Camp serves vegetarian food and delighted the audience with its cooking demo followed by a tour to its vegetables garden and tree planting on the Eco Camp ground.
On Tuesday early morning, prior to yoga practice and climate talks, climate leaders went trekking to Tebing Keraton. It is a perfect spot in North Bandung to see the sun rise over a cliff with scenic view of green hills, a winding river, thick forests, rice paddies, and mountains on the horizon.
