Marketing & Social Media Lead

Volunteer for a startup empowering youth through gamified eco-education 🌿EcoManka We empower young people and vulnerable communities to become leaders of environmental and social change.

EcoManka addresses the critical gap in climate education, social-emotional wellbeing, and youth entrepreneurship. Traditional educational models often fail to provide engaging environmental literacy, leaving young people and vulnerable communities without the practical tools, resilience, or systemic thinking needed to address pressing climate and social challenges.

The solution is an international eco-education initiative that transforms learning through gamified, experiential, and community-based programs. Supported by the German Federal Environmental Foundation (DBU), EcoManka is developing a digital learning platform, facilitator training, and an international teacher toolkit. Its work spans three main pillars: equipping secondary school educators with a curriculum covering environmental literacy and eco-entrepreneurship; empowering local NGOs to foster compassionate youth eco-leaders; and enhancing community-based sustainable tourism through immersive storytelling and gamification. By merging education, technology, and entrepreneurship, EcoManka turns environmental awareness into scalable, local action.
