Yesterday was a 𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐚𝐲 for me, and the Clidemy & Akshayakalpa teams. We started off our climate “education” experiments for schools – the segment with perhaps the highest potential to enable a 𝒇𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒍 transformation to a more sustainable future.
Together, we did (Akshayakalpa did, we watched, to be precise) 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐌𝐊 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐚𝐢 – a series of about 10 sessions done over 3 months when children in grades 3-7 learn about sustainable farming and food right at their schools!
The idea is to explore effective climate & environmental education for schools.
A small but satisfying start it indeed was, with about 20 children engaged in down to earth, get your hands dirty work – and it appeared they were all enjoying it. In the first session, they learnt how to make raised beds at a place allotted within the school campus.
The dream is to have a wonderful food garden flourishing in the school, started and maintained by the children, and the fruits and vegetables used by them right in their schools. Doesn’t that sounds awesome!
Now, while this appears to be indeed an exciting beginning, climate education at schools can be a lot more.
So, for today’s poll, I am requesting you to suggest which of the four could be the best way to transform school children such that they can transform the world of tomorrow into something far more sustainable.
You can select from one of the choices, or put down any other suggestion or strategy you have in Comments. Thank you!
