2nd Eco-Schools Mini Conference

The Future is Now
The second ISKL Eco-Schools Mini Conference is collaboration between ISKL, in this case the Green Council and HS Earth Club, Alice Smith School, SMK Bukit Indah Ampang, SMK Damansara Damai 1, SK TUDM Subang, Sri KDU International School, Ecocentric Transitions and WWF Malaysia was held recently.

This year’s conference participants identified “waste” as their central challenge. Student “greenstormed” ideas to move forward, to increase awareness and try to reach those outside the proverbial “choir” that participated in the conference. This “here and now” approach to making a positive change is what is crucial to the collaboration taking place between and within our schools. The decision was a social-media awareness campaign based on the Two Hands Project, which is founded on the principle that anyone can change the place they’re in with their own two hands. By piecing together the KL version of the Two Hands Project, and utilizing Facebook and Instagram to tag and challenge others to do the same, they are hoping to make small differences everywhere, in the schools that participated and the world at large. Thankfully for these students the future is already here, and in good hands.
