World School Network's (WSN) started in 1994 with an objective to heighten environmental awareness among children, aiming to bring them together to interact, share & learn about environmental issues through activities focusing on themes related to their daily lives such as water, food & trash.
|
In WSN, we focus on developing programs that help put a global prospective in the young minds of our future generation and instil in them a strong sense of environmental consciousness so that they will want to co-operate to protect the environment we live in.
Our programs are simple in structure but ambitious in aims. They are broken down into 3 broad categories: -
*Local Projects
Environmental studies/researches/projects carried out in local communities. Through hands-on experiences, children gain deeper understanding about nature.
*Online Interaction: “Kids Wisdom Base”
"Kids' Wisdom Base” is an online forum for children from around the world to share & interact with one another. Through sharing information, ideas, discoveries & opinions, children learn about worldwide environmental issues and develop a global perspective.
*International Workshops
WSN organizes a symposium annually & bring together children from around the world to discuss & present on environmental-related topics. The symposium allows the children to gain knowledge & understanding on different countries, cultures & religions.
Today, we have children from Japan, Korea, USA, Israel, Palestine, Costa Rico, Singapore & Kenya etc participating in WSN & we hope that more & more children from around the world can join us.
