Inspiring Youth for Environmental Action

Who We Are

Green Mind International Academy (formerly known as Green the Brain Institute) is an environmental education academy dedicated to nurturing deep appreciation and care for the environment, especially amongst young people.

At Green Mind International Academy (GMI Academy), we employ unconventional activities to inspire, train, educate and empower young people to take meaningful climate action and contribute to environmental preservation and sustainability.

We implement several projects actively involving young people. An example of our annual projects Networking-Nature-Camp (NNC). The camp combines educational sessions with fun, interactive activities, allowing young participants to experience the beauty of nature firsthand. It’s designed to instill in young people, love for the environment and a commitment to climate action.

Additionally, we offer eco-tourism packages that provides a refreshing escape to some of the most serene and green destinations.

We also offer online training, workshops, and webinars focused on promoting and teaching climate protection, environmental sustainability, and personal responsibility.

Ultimately, the ability to make a change starts from the mind. We believe that when knowledge is conveyed in clear and understandable ways, people are more willing and empowered to take action, especially climate action. The responsibility of caring for our planet rests on all of us, and our mission begins with educating people on why it is crucial.

 

History
Green Mind International Academy was founded in 2021. The academy implemented its first project; the Networking Nature Camp in August 2021. The camping was held in Lagos, Nigeria with 11 young people from diverse cultural and academic backgrounds. Since the first camping experience, the Networking-Nature-Camp has become an annual project with collaborations with relevant organizations within and outside Nigeria.
