Environmental strategies through Art and Craft
Miss Sadia Shaukat (PELI, 2008) organized an exhibition on Environmental Strategies through Art and Craft on 2-May, 2009 in the Township Campus, University of Education Lahore.
Miss Sadia Shaukat (PELI, 2008) taught a course “Art and Craft” at B.Ed level and incorporated the concepts of Environmental Awareness and Education in this course. The purpose of this course was to raise the environmental awareness among prospective teachers. Especially during the teaching of this course prospective teachers were trained to make the environmental strategies through trash material.
They made board displaying their efforts for raising environmental awareness with concepts of reduce, reuse, and recycle. They participated in card making activity and made beautiful cards on SAVE ENVIRONMENT. They used aluminum tins for making trash bins.
In addition, B.Ed students prepared environmental strategies for their teaching practice. They also developed their session plans on environmental awareness, pollution hazards, climate change and its impact. They accepted as a challenge to raise environmental awareness and education in their teaching practice and divided their roles as a leader for SAVE ENVIRONMENT. They made different Crowns on the diverse themes of environment to show their environmentally responsible behavior as a leader in the teaching practice.
Every student had clear vision and mission for raising environmental awareness and education in their teaching practice. During teaching practice B.Ed prospective teachers had also decided to establish the environmental centers at school level. They have developed environmental awareness campaign for school students that how they can bring about a change in their school environment. They have designed some intervention strategies for protecting environment at school level:
- Plantation day
- Discussions on Environmentally Responsible behavior
- Development of story material (literature) on the importance of environment
I am optimistic about my prospective teachers’ leading efforts and roles being leaders for raising environmental awareness and education during their teaching practice.
The concept of environmental strategies through Art & Crafts is a novel idea, which desiminate the importance of the environmental global issue in a very novel way. Through this idea it is not only an endavour to Reduce, Reuse or Recycle the trash rather it is used in a better way as a decorative piece depicting various environmental conservation strategies.
Sadia Shaukat you are really making a good effort for conservation of environment and your sencier efforts are really applauded.
