Documenting successful model for Environment Education

We at CERE ( The Centre for Environmental Research and Education )
are documenting successful models of environmental education with a
special focus on `school sustainability’ across India.

When schools become the very `grounds for sustainable living’ they
not only theoretically teach students about environmentally-sound
practices such as (i) waste management, including vermicomposting,
recycling, (ii) urban/city farming, (iii) water conservation and
rain water harvesting, (iv) greening public spaces and (v) energy
saving measures,vi) community service, but actually allow children
to follow these practices in reality on a day to day basis within
the portals of the schools. 

CERE will compile the findings as a comprehensive guidebook for the
use of teachers and educationists in schools. These models will
provide schools with a myriad of ideas for the mandatory subject of
Environmental Education.

If you know of any school or educational institution that has
developed or practices any successful model of environmental
education, then CERE would like to learn more about that program.
The CERE research team could even make arrangements to visit that
school or institution and document the model in-situ.

It will greatly help us to spread the knowledge and disseminate
information to schools across the country. Your contribution will be
fully acknowledged in all our publications. Please contact or send
information to CERE at or to Kitayun Rustom
