Redbricks School Steps Towards Saving Our Environment

The children of Redbricks believe in conserving our environment, shaping their belief  the children of Redbricks became a part of the "Create to Inspire school programme 2014-15" an initiation of Microsoft and German cooperation in collaboration with Centre for Environment Education and a German NGO, The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH or GIZ. The children along with the teachers were excited to take their tiny steps towards contributing their bit for saving the environment. One of the major drives was collection of e-waste with the help of Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA) workers, our school collected a mighty 65 Kg. Of e-waste where our children and parents got aware of the importance proper disposal of electronic waste. Children of primary section as a part of their SE module planted saplings, children utilized the old newspapers to make paper bags, Once the bags were made and colored children started a distribution drive. They distributed the handmade newspaper bags to all the people around belonging to different strata of the society as people everywhere around us are using the slow poison called polythene. They presented their handmade bags to the drivers, peons, teachers, the school counselor, The Principal and even to the guests from New Jersey who visited our school campus. Children also studied their electricity bills and even plotted graphs to analyze the usage of electricity in each class hence they took the initiative of saving electricity by switching off the lights and fans when not in use.

On 22nd April 2015, closing of the Create to Inspire programme 2014-15 was organized at CEE, Ahmedabad. The coordinators of the programme at CEE Ms.Meghna Chawla and Ms. Juhi Mishra represented the school along-with the children of Classes 5,6 and 7- Yash Pandya, Aryan Shah, Disha Sharma, Prasheel Gandhi and Dev Shah. Children took part in the presentation where they presented their activities done as a part of the programme,. They were also a part of the poster making and slogan writing competitions, which proved out to be an enriching experience for them. The programme closed down with an award function where Redbricks School was certified for the completion of the of the Create to Inspire Programme 2014-15 successfully. It was a proud moment for the teachers Ms. Meghna Chawla and Ms. Juhi Mishra who were awarded under the category of "inspiring leadership by a teacher" in the presence of Mr. Kartikey Sarabhai and other dignitaries.

We believe that a small step by the little children of Redbricks school will prove to be a butterfly effect, wings fluttered by a small butterfly can lead to a hurricane same way the message conveyed by the children will reach many people as the people inspired will inspire their near and dear ones and so on and so forth. We trust that one day our nation and our planet will be a sustainable place to live.

It was indeed a fruit of students and the facilitators contribution who looked beyond the curriculum  with enthusiasm and extraordinary abilities to put each plan into action to collaborate an incredible journey of ISA. For students it was an amazing experience to interact with the counterparts with confidence as they shared a collaborative  work wherein for the facilitators  it enhanced their teaching methodology and was a platform to identify their own creativity and talent as they  together experienced reflective brainstorming sessions.  The relentless effort of the ISA Coordinator Ms. Padma Kumar ,Committee member Ms. Juhi Mishra , Graphic designer Mr . Tushaar Affuwale coupled with the indomitable spirit of the facilitators Ms. Meghna Chawla, Ms. Khyati Acharya, Ms. Amrita Khetan, Ms. Toral Rawal ,Ms. Neelima Sharma, Ms. Aditi Pasaya and Mr. Praveen Upadhyay to implement each  action plan  systematically was a moral boost for weaving the dossier. Interaction with the counterparts had brought a true flavor of internationalism in terms of exchange of ideas regarding food, festivals, currencies and traditions which encouraged the students for exploratory learning. Thanks to British Council for giving us this opportunity to  establish the international dimension across the globe and a special thanks to  the Project Manager Ms. Ivy Cabryl and the Brand Ambassador  of West Zone Ms. Renu Seth for being our mentor and Guide.

Needless to say that the motivation and the passionate belief  in empowerment through education of our Founder Ms. Renita Handa had come true in the form of the Coveted ISA Award which had opened new vistas for the students and broadened their horizon.

They interacted with the students of Grade 5 - 7 to understand  the landscaping and and the purpose behind it . They also had a  discussion about conservation of environment and how Redbricks believes and contributes to the vision   of “Clean India Green India”. 

Swachh Bharat Abhiyan

Shaping their belief  the children of classes 5, 6 and 7 made paper bags using the old newspapers. They later colored the paper bags to give  a vibrant look and wrote messages and poems to inspire others to reduce the use of plastic bags and start using it to carry things. They then began with the distribution drive. They distributed the handmade paper bags to all the people in the vicinity  belonging to different strata of the society ,as despite of being aware of the consequence and the threat posed to the environment we are using the slow poison called polythene. They conveyed the message of “REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE”. As the children approached the people around , it was amazing to look at the response  and  many of them were astonished to see such a creative use of old newspapers done by the little environmentalists. The children while presenting the paper bags explained the concept of REUSING and how poly bags can harm our environment. The children inspired the people to  use the paper bags while going for shopping .Each one of them took a pledge not to use polythene bags anymore and save the environment .
