Kidzee Nadesar is an award winning pre-primary school in India’s North Zone. It started with its first learner in 2007 and has grown to a community of over 3000 members today. It is best known for its student-centred curriculum and activity-oriented approach towards learning.

Kenzen School is an alternative education primary school that aims to create a culture of teaching that equips learners to understand their interests, explore their own potential and add value to their society.

 

On 14th December, National Energy Conservation Day, the learners of both schools came together to share their expressions for saving planet Earth. The event took place at Rudraksha Convention Centre and was graced by Professor Akhilesh Raghubanshi (from the Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development at BHU) and Ritika Sareen (Secretary, Kidzee Nadesar and Kenzen School). Through dances, the children took the audience on an expedition of the sky, jungle, oceans and mountains – reminding us all about the glory and beauty of our planet.

In their hopes for saving their planet, they also did skits and musicals that depicted ways in which most of us have turned a blind eye to the negative affects of consumerism and capitalism on the environment. They also shared their own version of the United Nations – one where children are involved in the decision-making for their own future, and a world where adults listen to children and their dreams.

Their powerful yet innocent expressions lead to an impact that our city has not seen so far – a hall full of people from different ages and identities raising their hands in unison in a pledge to do their best to protect our future.
