| Over 3000 students from Private
and Government Schools in Delhi, along with rural and
tribal students from across the country will participate
in this three day event, to understand the values inherent
in sustainable development.
During the course of the festival,
scientists, academicians and grassroots' activists will
address local as well as global issues, encouraging
students to take affirmative action as stakeholders,
to endorse models of development that are most sustainable
for our planet.
The participation of youth in this
learning process will enable them to engage in creative
thinking, problem solving and self learning.
The festival is also a celebration
of "Yuva Ekta: Youth Unite", the Community Outreach
program, with urban and rural youth coming together
in the fight against desertification and poverty, in
an effort to preserve bio-diversity and natural resources.
A solidarity between the privileged and underprivileged,
united by a common Vision.
Each morning the students will have
an opportunity to meet the "Green Warriors" - outstanding
men and women who have battled these issues in various
fora, and have a wealth of experience to share.
The afternoons offer workshops in creative
expression like theatre, music, dance, painting, mural
making, puppetry and others, through which the students
would express their vision of environmental integrity.
Film screenings, street plays, workshops,
lectures would enable the children learn new skills
and leave the festival with an inspired Action Plan
for themselves and their peer group. Truly
Young Visionaries!
