DILI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL - Environmental Education Workshop


Dili International School hosted an environmental education workshop over two days to improve all the students understanding of the issues facing the planet on a global and individual scale.

Combining activities with the watching of relevant media for the age groups students were able to understand a little better where they can fit into the 'bigger' picture and what they can do in their own spaces.

The 11th Hour, "Is it really Rubbish?' and "The Legend of Taiji were shown as well as Bali in Motion and Let's Recycle two documentary films made in Bali showing a much more local view to help the different ages groups understand. This was followed by different activities for each group resulting in an overall understanding that can grow through the school and their continued commitment to the preservation and improvement of their environment.
The level of response was high and many of the much younger children had already gained a great understanding of the effects of pollution on the planet. These children are the future of our world and to watch them engage with the activities and exhibit understanding was inspiring and encouraging...Thank you Dili International School
