“Bandipur: Learning with the Living World” is an inquiry-driven experiential learning programme designed for all PYP students, using wildlife exploration and nature immersion as meaningful contexts to understand interdependence, responsibility, and conservation.
Through pre-tour provocations and student wonder questions, guided nature walks, wildlife safari observations, ecosystem role-play activities, and structured reflection, students explore how living and non-living elements of the natural world are connected and how human actions influence ecological balance.
The programme supports learners in understanding that care, respect, responsibility, and ethical decision-making are essential when sharing the planet with other living beings. By observing wildlife respectfully, reflecting on human impact, collaborating in conservation challenges, and committing to simple responsible actions, students develop empathy for nature, environmental awareness, and a sense of stewardship.
The programme is fully designed and facilitated by Crazy Holidays and its experiential learning resource team, ensuring high-quality delivery, while remaining strongly aligned to IB PYP philosophy. Learning is intentionally structured across Pre-Tour, On-Tour, and Post-Tour engagements, enabling students to connect inquiry with experience and reflection with meaningful action.
Students develop Thinking, Research, Social, Communication, and Self-Management skills as they observe wildlife, ask questions, record findings through drawings and symbols, collaborate in group discussions and conservation challenges, reflect on human–nature relationships, and make connections between choices, values, and environmental responsibility.
Students understand how ecosystems function through interdependence; explore how humans observe and interact with wildlife responsibly; practise ethical decision-making related to conservation; develop empathy and respect for living beings; recognise human responsibility toward the environment; and reflect on how actions impact ecosystems and communities.
Students describe basic ecosystem relationships; demonstrate care, empathy, and respect for nature; explain how human actions affect wildlife and habitats; make responsible and ethical choices during group activities; connect values to conservation actions; participate meaningfully in reflection; and apply environmental responsibility in everyday school and community contexts.
