Educating young people about the environment
Throughout the year, the PSE environment department is committed to raising awareness and educating students and staff about the importance of protecting our planet. This commitment is backed up by daily actions such as composting, recycling and the introduction of a plastic-free campus, as well as weekly lessons on the environment. This year, the students also took part in a study trip designed around environmental issues and their field of study.
Students from the Business School visited Amarak Farm, a farm that is also an eco-resort. The students were able to expand their knowledge of ecotourism and environmental management, while learning about sustainable business practices. ‘As soon as we arrived, I was so excited to explore. Discovering the greenhouses and seeing the different animals was incredible. It was an unforgettable experience,’ says a student from the Business School. ‘It's so nice to be able to do this kind of outing thanks to PSE. Today, I was able to discover a new facet of environmental action, but being able to go to the pagoda was an incredible experience’ added another.
The students from the Construction School were divided into two groups, one visiting a water treatment plant and the other a recycling centre. ‘This visit opened my eyes to the importance of recycling. Seeing with my own eyes how waste can be transformed into useful objects was truly inspiring,’ said one student. ‘I loved being able to ask questions and touch the materials. The guides were very accessible and made the subject exciting. I'm coming away with lots of ideas for my future project,’ concludes another.
