ONGOING EVENTS

Schools for Sustainability

Schools for Sustainability is a nationwide initiative that aims to promote the theme of Circular Economy,Sustainability & E waste, through awareness leading to action. 

We endeavor to connect eco-conscious schools with sustainability partners, e-waste experts, NGO’s, RWA’s and other key stakeholders, through the establishment of a Sustainability Action Network in each city. This network aims to be a long-term self sustaining ecosystem that continues to drive local environmental action well beyond the initial intervention.

The program also  educates & empowers students through awareness workshops, hands-on campaigns, and helps schools adopt sustainable, student-driven waste management practices—turning students into green leaders.
