Learning activity details

This project aims at creating environmental awareness and developing a sense of responsibility in learners towards this century’s most critical concern – ‘environmental conservation’.

Project Based Learning (PBL) strategy has been used to teach the topic on ‘ENVIRONMENT’ in an innovative and engaging way so that learners not only acquire knowledge, but also grow into responsible 21st century citizens and become agents of environmental change!

This ECO project rests on 3 major pillars:
1. ACQUISITION OF KNOWLEDGE ON ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION
2. USE OF KNOWLEDGE TO INITIATE ECO-FRIENDLY ACTIONS
3. SHARING/DISSEMINATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL KNOWLEDGE TO ECO-PARTNERS
