DPS Bokaro collaborates with Crestforth International School of Nigeria on global issue
Bokaro: Taking education beyond the confines of classrooms and connecting students with global perspectives, international experiences and contemporary global challenges, Delhi Public School (DPS), Bokaro, has undertaken another landmark initiative. Under the prestigious Recognition of International Dimensions in Schools (RIDS) programme of the British Council, DPS Bokaro has collaborated with a renowned Crestforth International School of Nigeria on the global issue of environmental conservation and sustainable transportation. As part of the initiative, students enthusiastically participated in a range of activities, including an awareness rally, an awareness survey, poster-making, questionnaires and the preparation of logbooks.
The most significant aspect of this initiative was an engaging video interaction with students of the Nigerian school. Connected across continents through digital screens, students and teachers of Nigeria discussed their respective geographical and social contexts and exchanged ideas on practical measures and innovative approaches to promote sustainable and eco-friendly transportation in their countries. In the next phase of the partnership, the activities and projects undertaken by the Nigerian school will also be shared with DPS Bokaro.
Meanwhile, dozens of DPS Bokaro students participated in an awareness rally titled ‘Green Wheels’, carrying posters, banners, placards and hand-written slogans. During the rally, the students spread awareness among the public about environmental friendly modes of transportation and the importance of adopting sustainable practices.
As part of the RIDS campaign, another awareness initiative focusing on plastic pollution was also conducted in the Primary Wing of DPS Bokaro. Students actively participated in various activities, including poster-making and creative artwork, to highlight the harmful impact of plastic pollution and promote environmental responsibility.
The Principal Dr. A. S. Gangwar described the RIDS initiative as a significant step towards building a greener, cleaner and healthier future across the globe. He stated that protecting the environment is a collective responsibility and that ensuring sustainable transportation is essential in this regard.
