BWS-School of Birds Highlights for 2024
School of Birds is dedicatedly working on creating a curriculum to engage children through hands-on activities, integrating science and creative arts, with sustainability at its core. In August 2023 the project was pitched at a Birdwatchers’ Society meeting. The BWS team embraced it wholeheartedly, offering not just support but a platform to grow. Through our collaboration with BWS, who share our common values and goals, School of Birds has now fledged. We have had the great pleasure of conducting sessions with close to 500 children during the course of 2024. But besides that we also came across many like-minded organizations who lent their hands wherever needed to make our efforts fruitful.
