:: WORKSHOPS ::
Sanskar India Foundation conducts workshops in classrooms and wherever necessary on vermi-composting, paper recyling and preparation of natural holi colours, making eco-friendly Ganpati idols in the schools. Students are taught by means of demonstration the significance and importance of these workshops such that they are trained to replicate in future on their own.
Beyond classrooms, SIF also organized workshops and skits over weekends for the Kala Ghoda festival in February 2008 and 2009. The skits, with their twin messages of environmental and social values, attracted a great deal of interest while the workshops educated the public on vermi-composting, paper recycling and preparation of natural Holi colours.
A workshop on ‘waste management’ was conducted by SIF at JBCN school. SIF carried out awareness sessions on the mismanagement of waste in the city. This included introducing the students to segregation of waste into dry and wet waste, vermi-composting of wet waste and making them aware of the negative impacts of plastic.
