Holistic understanding about sustainable issues prepares students for future challenges. In the world of today, it’s crucial for students to know about environmental emergency and ways to prevent it. It’s a collective responsibility that requires an innovative approach and concerted action“.
Grade 10th students at Lycee French International School conceptualized ideas and prepared an informative video on India’s environmental situation. The video was prepared around COP 26, United Nations Climate Change conference, a project for their Spanish class as part of the ‘week of French High Schools Abroad organized this year by the AEFE’ around the theme: “Arts, sciences and sustainable development: French education to prepare for the world of tomorrow’’. The students also created photomontages as an attempt to raise awareness around the environmental emergency. The photomontage to create ecological awareness at LFID, which was designed by Angeliki Moatsou was announced as the winner.
