Climate Action Project

Though aware of the words,I was  curious to know about the 6 weeks programme.When our School Principal informed us about the project ,I decided to go ahead with it.Initially we thought of selecting few students( 25 approx.) and 2 teachers.We informed all the students from Grade 3to 9 regarding the projects.For selection of students, we uploaded the Google forms in all the classrooms, so that interested students can give their name.We were surprised to see the response.It was 150+ for Grade 5-9 and 88+ for Grade 3 and 4. After getting the green signal from our facilitator, we increased the number of students.We started our project with 8 teachers and 150 students with an opinion that each child is unique and may have the ability to present their views in a different way.A brief idea about the project was shared durin their regular classes. We had the first zoom session with them on Thursday, 1st October,2020.This session proved to be an ice breaker since the participants belonged to different Grades.Everyone got a chance to share their views.All were excited and eager to know more.Week-1 Questions were discussed with them through presentation and videos.There was an active participation by all the pupils.2nd meeting was scheduled on 2nd October,2020.We were amazed to see their overwhelming response.Each one of them was ready with their answers through different activities like drawing, poster, videos and powerpoint presentation.One child cameout with an unique idea of showing Climate change through dance and few made their You Tube videos.All had done a wonderful work by going through the references and come out with their views.We never thought ,they can produce such wonderful work within a short span of time.On Saturday,3rd October,2020, a final session was arranged.The students were asked what had they gained in these few days.This session was arranged basically to sensitize the lower Grade students who had joined late in the project due to the ongoing assessments.We could see the spark in their eyes to take the project ahead and make an impact.'Climate Action Project'-Though aware of the words,I was  curious to know about the 6 weeks programme.When our School Principal informed us about the project ,I decided to go ahead with it.Initially we thought of selecting few students( 25 approx.) and 2 teachers.We informed all the students from Grade 3to 9 regarding the projects.For selection of students, we uploaded the Google forms in all the classrooms, so that interested students can give their name.We were surprised to see the response.It was 150+ for Grade 5-9 and 88+ for Grade 3 and 4.
