Exploring Environmental
Education beyond the Classroom

A workshop for teachers
of ICSE, CBSE and SSLC schools

The Indian Supreme Court passed a law in 2004 which
mandates all Indian schools to compulsorily and immediately include a subject
on environmental studies in all grades from primary to high school.  Since
the introduction of the subject teachers have been at a loss being confined to
the classroom, text book and a syllabus to complete within a given time. A
complete lack of teaching techniques, teaching aids, and application to explain
environmental concepts to students has made environmental education another
burden to teachers and to students in a system that is overloaded. This
workshop for teachers will provide the opportunity to find new skills and share
what has worked and what needs to change. This is a workshop for enthusiastic
teachers, coordinators and facilitators with a passion for educating and
motivating kids.  It aims to help young
professionals develop their skills and knowledge so they can inspire children
and others more effectively. The purpose of the workshop is to demonstrate to
the teachers how the outdoors can be utilized to Introduce, strengthen, and
emphasize concepts of the environmental education curriculum. Through classroom sessions, games and field
studies, we will explore the curriculum, teaching techniques, and classroom
activities that can help kids learn about the wonders of nature and their
environment. As part of the workshop we will help identify some simple methods and techniques for teaching
environmental education in the outdoors and the workshop will also familiarize
the participants with some of the environmental issues of the city of Bengaluru.

Teachers will learn from Naturalists,
Social scientists, Environmental lawyers, Community health specialists and Community
leaders. Teachers will also be provided with a resource kit.
