GUWAHATI: Environment sessions beyond the school curriculum backed up by documentaries on wildlife and nature conservation will form the crux of a workshop for students here on June 9.
As part of a long term programme on environment conservation, “Asam Sahitya Sabhar Seuj Jatra”, apex literary organisation, Asam Sahitya Sabha, will conduct the workshop for students from Class VI to Class XII. The programme is being held in association with Jyoti Chitraban and Nature’s Beckon, an NGO working for wildlife and ecology conservation in the Northeast.
“The idea behind the workshop to be held at Jyoti Chitraban is to inculcate a sense of awareness and love for environment conservation among school children. A documentary on ecology will also be shown during the workshop,” Pankaj Kumar Dutta, Asam Sahitya Sabha spokesperson and coordinator of the programme, told The Shillong Times on Wednesday.
The topics to be touched upon by trained instructors include wildlife behaviour, human-animal conflict and avian fauna among others.
