Venue: Bannerghatta • Hakki-Pikki Tribal Community • Wildlife & Conservation Experience
Program Type: Half-Day Interdisciplinary Field Inquiry
Age Group: 12–13 years
Duration: Half Academic Day
Focus: Fairness, responsibility, sustainable development, conservation systems and ethical decision-making
This half-day field inquiry positions Bannerghatta and the Hakki-Pikki community as real-world case studies for analysing how societies organise themselves, manage resources and balance development with responsibility.
Learners investigate how indigenous communities sustain cultural identity, how conservation systems protect wildlife and how fairness operates within human and environmental systems. Through guided observation, structured dialogue and ethical evaluation, students examine how responsibility shapes sustainable futures.
The inquiry progression follows:
Context Awareness → Perspective Analysis → Systems Observation → Ethical Evaluation → Reflective Responsibility
Students gather first-hand evidence, analyse multiple viewpoints and construct informed ethical responses supported by observation.
