This experiential learning programme helps students understand how natural systems and human-made systems function and interact. Students explore agriculture, water management, sound, biodiversity, marine systems, and coastal livelihoods using real environments as learning spaces.
Rather than studying systems separately, students observe, compare, and explain how systems work, what makes them useful, and where problems or limits appear. Learning focuses on cause-and-effect relationships, system comparison, and sustainability using evidence from hill, forest, and coastal regions.
