Learning to understand and appreciate nature: at Sekolah Gunung Merapi we teach and reinforce awareness of natural process and environmental friendliness through talks, games, workshops, wildlife walks and arts and crafts.
Indonesia is home to some of the most diverse natural environments in the world, and yet has one of the worst environmental records, is one of the world’s largest plastic waste polluters and most rapidly degrading natural environments. To have any hope of preserving these environments and tackling climate change, we need to radically improve and increase the way in which we educate the next generation about the environment and sustainability.
WHAT WE DO
School recycling area: the students decide what types of rubbish should go where, and also look for items that could be reused.
