The “Ontological Bridge-building for Climate Change Mitigation in Maasailand”

(A Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship) works collaboratively through the education and social structures of the North Central Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania, with the blessing and support of Bishop Godson Abel.

 

The following lessons have been written by Maasai collaborative writers and reviewed by the Maasai Stakeholders who established the project's core values and determined the learning outcomes.
