Wetlands International South Asia conducted a session on ‘Wetlands and Water Conservation’ for Class IV students at Delhi Public School (DPS), Faridabad, on August 19, 2026. The session was organised as part of the school’s multidisciplinary learning initiative, ‘n times 360’, engaging approximately 350 students and teachers.
The session emphasised the importance of water conservation in daily life, using engaging, participatory activities to help students connect these concepts to practical actions. Students were introduced to wetlands as vital ecosystems, encouraged to think critically about their ecological significance, and made aware of the growing threats these ecosystems face today.
This interactive approach made complex environmental topics more accessible. By linking environmental concepts to everyday habits, students learned how individual actions contribute to protecting water resources and shaping broader environmental outcomes.
The enthusiastic participation of students throughout the session reflected their curiosity and eagerness to learn. Young learners are often powerful agents of change, carrying lessons from the classroom into their homes and communities. Initiatives like these play a key role in shaping environmentally conscious citizens from an early age, helping cultivate a generation that is better equipped to address emerging environmental challenges and contribute to sustainable water management.
The session was part of Wetlands International South Asia’s efforts to promote environmental awareness and encourage young people to play an active role in building a more sustainable future.
