Venue: Bannerghatta National Park Zoo with Hakki-Pikki Community
Program Type: Half-Day Ethical and Civic Field Inquiry
Age Group: 13–14 years
Duration: Half Academic Day
Focus: Human rights, social justice, ethical responsibility, environmental stewardship and civic action
This field inquiry positions the Hakki-Pikki community and Bannerghatta National Park as interconnected case studies for analysing fairness, justice and systemic responsibility within society.
Students critically examine how social, economic and environmental systems distribute power and resources. Through structured dialogue, perspective analysis and ethical evaluation, learners assess how human decisions influence both communities and ecosystems.
The inquiry progression follows:
Ethical Framing → Perspective Investigation → Systems Analysis → Justice Evaluation → Civic Action Proposal
Students gather first-hand evidence, compare viewpoints, evaluate systemic fairness and construct principled, evidence-based arguments.
