Planting Seeds of Environmental Consciousness: Why Akshara Believes in Engaging Children in Saving the Environment


Nurturing Environmental Consciousness: By involving children in environment-friendly activities, we instill in them a sense of responsibility towards the planet. They develop a deep understanding of the importance of conservation and become conscious of their impact on the environment.


Hands-On Learning: Engaging students in environmental activities provides hands-on learning experiences. They actively participate in tasks such as recycling, gardening, or energy conservation, which deepen their understanding of environmental concepts and foster a love for nature.


Empowering Change Agents: Involving children in environmental initiatives empowers them to become change agents. They realize that even small actions, such as reducing waste or planting trees, can make a significant difference. They become advocates for sustainable practices and inspire others to join the cause.


Connecting with Nature: By engaging in environment-friendly activities, children develop a strong connection with nature. They learn to appreciate the beauty and wonders of the natural world, fostering a lifelong love and respect for the environment.


Building a Sustainable Future: By actively involving children in environmental activities, we are shaping a generation that is conscious of the environmental challenges we face. They become equipped with the knowledge, skills, and mindset to make sustainable choices, leading us towards a greener and more sustainable future.


Let's join hands and empower our children to be the custodians of our planet, creating a better world for generations to come!

At Akshara High School, we have always been committed to nurturing our students’ minds and the environment around us. Today, we are thrilled to share our exciting journey towards embracing solar power and taking a significant step towards sustainability.  As a school that deeply cares about the environment, we have embarked on this path to harness clean, renewable energy and reduce our carbon footprint.

She believes that it is our responsibility to instil in our students a sense of environmental consciousness and empower them to be agents of change. On the day of the solar power inauguration, we had the privilege of hosting a workshop for our students on solar energy and climate change. Through engaging activities and discussions, we aimed to educate our young minds about the importance of renewable energy and its impact on the environment.

Havas Group India and Akshara Foundation of Arts and Learning (AFAL) partner up as happiness preachers!

  One of the most meaningful partnerships for AFAL has been the one with HavasImpact+ (Havas Positive Impact), the global CSR unit of Havas Group India.   In 2022, through this partnership, HavasImpact+ and AFAL have been conducting a series of activities that not only provide education, and encourage the creative steak in our children, but also impart vocational training. A series of workshops that constituted knowledge-sharing sessions were designed specifically for students aged 11-15 years. The next event was coming together to create a wall of graffiti at the project premises in Mumbai.  For the workshop which had hour-long training sessions, volunteers from Havas Group India visited AFAL premises to interact with the students, imparting training on 3 topics: Design Thinking, Public Speaking, and Introduction to Art. The curated sessions were designed to provide the students with the necessary tools to create a foundation that they’d be able to build upon, thereby moulding them in
