The objective of the Green Curriculum is to help our young students learn from nature. The programme is offered to students of Class 6 and is spread over the academic year. Course content deals with planting, sowing, growing and harvesting. Understanding soils, preparing organic compost and careful use of pesticides are a part of the course. Students are provided the opportunity to use natural produce in culinary projects such as the annual jam and pickle making sessions. The Green Curriculum encourages a greater understanding of the environment and ecological issues. Students are encouraged to practice what they learn by creating their own growing spaces. Skills such as observation, recording of hands-on research and report writing are ways in which the Green Curriculum helps develop cognitive areas of learning.

Climate change is something that children and young people are very aware of. Eco-anxiety – the psychological impact of the climate crisis and fear of the future – affects enormous numbers of children and young people. At the same time, school students are getting involved. At the same time, school students are getting involved in climate activism. Greta Thunberg is a figurehead of Fridays for Future. This movement encourages students to strike in order to raise awareness of environmental destruction and demand change from governments and corporations. But climate activism doesn’t have to take place outside school hours. There’s a powerful argument for including environmentalism within the curriculum. After all, our students are already living through the effects of climate change. They’re seeing real events unfold before their eyes, from deforestation to flooding, forest fires and the extinction of many species. It’s our responsibility as educators to give them the knowledge, skills and motivation they’ll need to help solve the climate-related problems which they will inevitably face in their adult lives.
