This is the third Powerpoint in a Series sharing Environmental education activities with a view to instilling Mindfulness about Climate Change.
This Powerpoint demonstrates a creative approach to teaching Sustainability Education - showing examples of active and passive games, puzzles, quizzes, extra-curricular experiments, drama and workshops, with the key focus being on climate change. The aim is to show how to instil a keener consciousness about climate change through creativity and play.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.

2. Problem
The Three Rivers Park patrons come to the park to experi-
ence the outdoors; their commitment to the environment
does not necessarily extend beyond the parkʼs borders
into their own homes, they are unaware the negative envi-
ronmental impact is a negative impact on the park; care
for the environment at home has no borders.
Client Meetings
3. Creative Brief
Objective
“To inspire, educate, and communicate the ecological preservation of our
citiesʼ park with emphasis on waste reduction delivered via creative messag-
ing, and physical
displays.”
Goal
“Utilizing already available research and conducting new research, Team
Grey will engage patrons of Silverwood Park and Gale Woods Farm Parks on
the topic of waste reduction.”
8. Desired Brand Character:
Descriptive Words
These four words represent our visual goal for the project as a whole:
Appealing, rustic, sustainable, and pristine.
9. Demographics
Couples were in their 30’s – late 40’s, their
likes included: “I love being a grandma” or “I
love my kids” indicating their priority is
family. Most were well educated, living in
comfortable homes, able to a ord lavish va-
cations from school and work. They never
missed one soccer game or piano recital.
Family always comes rst.

10. Archetype Wendy and Michael are in their late 30ʼs and have a child Jeremy
who is seven years old. They make the 5-minute trip to the Three
Rivers Park for a family outing. The family enjoys spending time
together learning and being active. They get coffee and ice cream at
the cafe. They join a class at the park to learn about apple cider. The
family has some apple trees in the their yard and wants to learn more
ways to utilize and collect the fruit. Wendy and Michael are interested
in the environment and sustainability. Jeremy likes to mash apples and
is getting excited about the prospect of making apple cider at
home.The park has been a destination for recreation outings even
before the addition to the family. Wendy works as an administrator at
an elementary school and the father has an office in the cities. They
admire the Parksʼ practice of recycling and composting, but they are
not fully aware of all the benefits available in their own household,
especially composting. When they go to dispose of their coffee cups

12. Options
The three options midway through the project were : a puzzle style game, a
scale installation and unusual/bold signage. We narrowed down to two
options; the scale as our interactive installation and signs that would be used
at park held weddings.

14. Weights
The weights are separated between positive and negative by color.
We chose the Color Red to Represent the negative weights and
blue for the positive side. Immediate reaction to red is to stop
while blue is a calming color associated with nature. The user sorts
through each color, the weights that apply are placed in the appro-
priate bucket. The weights symbolize behaviors in every category
of the 3 Rʼs and composting. Each weight has a visual symbol and
copy.

they are large gatherings of people where proper waste disposal is the last
