Objectives of Action: 

In celebrating the UNESCO’s International Geodiversity Day, the Association for Geoconservation, Hong Kong (AGHK) organised a series of workshop. The main themes of the workshops are based on the geodiversity of all continents around the globe except Antarctica. Dr. Soumaya Ayadi, president of ACE, a Geology, Hydrology, and Environment teacher at USJ, Faculties of Sciences and Engineering, had the pleasure to be one of the speakers in the ​​workshop, with a speech about Lebanon’s geodiversity as a resource for sustainable development and the need for geo-education.The workshop focused on the geodiversity of The Middle East, a region of unique geology and landforms accompanied by an extremely diverse culture and long history. Due to its political complications in recent decades, its geodiversity has seldom been publicized and is little known to many people around the globe.
