Go For Green Child Awareness Programme – School 2

On 17 July 2025 Green Growth Bangladesh launched the Go For Green – Child Awareness Programme at the first of three partner schools. The programme brings environmental education into the classroom and ends with every student taking a sapling home.

What happened

  • Recycling Saves The Earth session: an interactive talk on waste, recycling and why trees matter, followed by students presenting their own posters.
  • Drawing activity: students drew their vision of a green, clean Bangladesh.
  • Sapling distribution: each participant received a sapling to plant and care for at home.
  • Tree planting: the GGB team and students planted guava saplings on the school grounds.

Why it matters

Children are the most effective messengers for environmental change. When a student understands why plastic in the drain floods the street or why a tree cools the schoolyard, that message travels home to parents and neighbours. Go For Green is designed to be repeated across many schools with a simple, low-cost format.
