WED-
World Environment day – 2013 on SEBS
What a
day!! So much happened that it’s difficult to list out everything………………….
However, here follows a brief description of all that was done that day, in the
words of the communicators themselves…J
On
world environment day, I had conducted Nature on the Stage competition. The
idea was to give topics to students like “save the tiger”, “air pollution”,
“save fuel” etc. and they had to give out a message through a small self
developed skit. The participation was good with students performing quite well.
The participants managed to deliver meaningful messages through quite
entertaining and humorous performances. I felt very happy after conducting the
competition because all the students enjoyed very much and were content with
the event and along with that they learnt important environment related
messages!

Hi! On
World environment day, I conducted outreach activities at New Tinsukia Jatiya
Vidyalaya. These are the salient features of what I conducted:
-I started with a brief description about the content of Science
Express Biodiversity Special Phase VI and its main motive.
Then I moved on to games and activities like –“how to join 9
points with 4 lines”, “how to solve the Brahma’s tower puzzle” and the
demonstration of Newton
We had a lengthy discussion about varied biodiversity related
topics like the Tectonic plate theory, which supports the idea that India was
once a part of Gondwanaland and that the Indian sub-continent had detached
itself from Africa; we discussed the biodiversity and cultural heritage of
North-East India and the need to conserve our available bio-resources.
Through our discussions I learned about various bamboo species and
about the medicinal value of some locally available plants.
We concluded by remembering two quotes of Mahatma Gandhi-
“Be the change you want to see in the world” and
“The world has enough to meet every person’s needs but not their
greed.”
I felt
extremely proud when the Principal felicitated me and thanked me for visiting
their school.
The
next day a group of students from the same school visited the train and told me
that they remembered the outreach event conducted by me at their school and
that they really enjoyed it. That really made my day! :)

World
environment day is a commitment to the nature that we will protect and nurture
her as our mother. A story writing competition was organized on the occasion of
world environment day on the SEBS train. This was an effort to squeeze out the
creative juices from school children. A pitcher plant talks to an insect was
the topic (a strong encounter between two enemies- the pitcher plant kills
insects by gulping them). The struggle to survive in the biosphere continues by
humans, plants, birds and animals. This struggle should be a stimulus to have a
cordial relationship with the nature. This was the idea behind the story
writing competition proposed by me. It was an interesting exercise and even
though not many participated, I was glad that the idea had been taken forward
and that students came up with their views.

On
World Environment Day, I had conducted a quiz competition. It was very
interesting for the students and they really enjoyed the event. They came to
know many new things about science. I too enjoyed a lot with the students and
it was a great experience to cheer them on, to get answers from them and to
motivate them to know more about science.

I conducted activities and experiments in the JOS Lab among
school students on world environment day, which focused on human induced
impacts on climate change and biodiversity and how balanced biological
diversity is itself able to reform the environment hence making the earth a
suitable place to live in for humans.

I’ve just joined SEBS and it has been about one month! Being fond of
mimicry and acting, I was involved in a “platform play” twice- once on
International Biodiversity day and then on World Environment Day. A team from
Science Express including Raghav sir, Bijoy Sir, Chandra Shekhar, Richa,
Prachee and myself reached Hijuguri
Assamese Middle
English School
जहाँ है हरियाली वहाँ है खुशियाली.
सारी धरती करे पुकार , पर्यावरण का करो सुधार!
It was really a great time for me
and I feel happy that contributed to the environment in some way! The cherry on the cake was that I
really enjoyed my interaction with children while performing the skit and
conducting the rally:D
Everyone
participated in one event or the other, and the entire day was packed with
amazing energy and fervour! We had Bijoy Goswami and Ravi S. Das from CEE,
Regional Assam Cell joining us, and they not only helped us with our own
pre-existing ideas, but they also added new dimensions to our concepts and
expanded our ideas into more practical, successful and meaningful events; Bijoy
da- the brain storming sessions with you proved to be so enriching and
interesting! Thank you for making Science Express an even more colourful, happy
and meaningful place!
For
all the events that have not been extensively written about, here is a short
picture capsule covering all that has been left out:
