"Green Future for Youngsters," emphasizes the role of education in fostering environmental stewardship among the youth. The initiative aims to integrate sustainability into school curricula, instilling in young minds the importance of being guardians of our planet.
This approach goes beyond traditional environmental education by making it hands-on and relatable, setting the foundation for lifelong responsible behavior. Such programs signify a crucial step in the right direction, especially at a time when younger generations are expected to face unprecedented environmental challenges. It's more than just education; it's a blueprint for a sustainable future.
“It’s crucial to teach children about gardening and care for the environment from a very young age so this becomes part of their own value system as they grow. This project embodies the Glenridge philosophy ‘Education for Life’ by teaching skills of sustainable living and establishing values of respecting the environment and its resources,” said Glenridge Pre-Primary School principal Irmarie van der Westhuizen.
