Educating for Sustainability

Through education programs, young people and educators can make a real difference. Green School is committed to sharing its expertise and services to local communities in a way that allows them to lead the way.  A community-driven language and sustainability after-school program provides young people with the skills they need to make a difference. They are motivated to master English language and empowered and supported to tackle bigger challenges. With a focus on waste reduction, reuse and recycling, these children are leading change one household, one community, one village at a time.

Local teachers and university students are skilled in eco-literacy through training and practicums delivered by Green School. Through this and our youth programs, we are building a community of learners, providing support and inspiration, infusing sustainability awareness and practices into education and into daily life.

Creative Solutions

Performing arts provides a highly engaging platform for young people to connect with each other and become activists. In the deeply artistic nation of Indonesia, students of the Kul Kul Connection program are putting a new spin on tradition by using the dramatic arts to send a powerful message on waste and the environment.

Students create their own screenplay and unique costumes out of recycled material that they have collected from Green School’s recycling centre.

Plastic bags that otherwise would have ended up in landfills are used to create couture gowns. This production tours local and international schools in Indonesia to create momentum and a youth movement for positive change.

This is one shining example of the optimistic and creative potential of young people. With a little support, these initiatives can create real and much needed generational change.
