Past Project
To have a longer-term impact on the Climate and Environment Education Curriculum, we created an activity-based book for young students named – ‘Kalpavriksha’. This book goes hand in hand with the Climate and Environment Education Curriculum. Kalpavrikshya aims to teach students the basics of climate change and emphasises their roles in helping to curtail climate change. The activities are designed to support students in applying critical thinking to key concepts around climate change in a fun and engaging way. The aim of the book is to equip students with practical skills to address climate change issues and ensure that students and other stakeholders – teachers, schools, and families, take ownership and become accountable towards their community.
In the first wave, we distributed the books to 1500 young students in Bhairahawa, Kathmandu and Helambu.
We thank everyone involved in the process, including The Climate Reality Project, WWF Nepal, and the Global Shapers Community. The book is available for download – https://bit.ly/3fEXa0R (https://ktmshapers.org/kalpavrikshya_4.pdf)
