Education for Climate Action – Empowering Young Minds

Education for Climate Action – Empowering Young Minds

Education gives young people the knowledge, confidence and skills needed to understand environmental challenges and participate in creating solutions. WECAN believes climate education should go beyond textbooks and provide students with opportunities to participate in practical environmental activities.

School Solar Mitra Initiative – 2020–2021

WECAN conducted school sessions about climate change and the benefits of solar energy. Students were introduced to solar energy and taught to assemble solar kits in collaboration with SoULS IIT Bombay.

The annual report records five Solar Mitra workshops and 500 students reached.

School Climate Awareness Programme – 2022 Onwards

WECAN developed a climate education initiative for students from classes 5 to 12. Activities include interactive workshops, eco-club formation, seed ball-making, tree planting, art and essay competitions, climate action pledges, film screenings and discussions.

The annual report documents more than 50 schools and over 7,500 students reached across Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Jalna, Beed, Pune and Parbhani.
