Program Type: Full-Day Interdisciplinary Field Inquiry
Age Group: 10–11 years
Duration: One Full Academic Day
Focus: Identity, fairness, rights, sustainability and responsible action within communities
This full-day field inquiry positions VIS THAR as a real-world case study for examining fairness, power distribution, rights, and environmental sustainability within communities.
Learners investigate how identity shapes perspective, how power influences decisions, and how communities balance environmental responsibility with social justice.
