Venue: Bannerghatta National Park Zoo & Hakki-Pikki Community
Programme Type: Half-Day Field Investigation
Age Group: 15–16 years
This half-day field investigation examines how social and environmental systems influence fairness, access, rights and responsibility. The visit is structured as an analytical case study rather than a reflective exposure experience. Students investigate real-world examples of marginalisation, access to services, conservation management and institutional accountability. The programme develops the ability to explain causes, analyse consequences, evaluate responsibility and construct balanced judgements supported by evidence.
The Hakki-Pikki community provides a context for analysing structural inequality, social inclusion and access to opportunity. Bannerghatta National Park Zoo provides a case study of environmental governance, conservation systems and human responsibility toward ecosystems. Together, both contexts allow students to compare social and environmental justice within interconnected systems.
The academic progression follows a clear sequence:
Contextual Framing → Field Evidence Collection → Stakeholder Identification → Cause & Consequence Analysis → Evaluative Judgement
Students are expected to move beyond description and demonstrate structured reasoning using observed evidence.
Students will:
• Analyse how social systems influence opportunity, equity and access
• Identify structural causes of inequality in marginalised communities
• Evaluate the role of institutions and governments in ensuring fairness
• Assess environmental conservation practices using explicit criteria
• Construct structured, balanced written arguments
By the end of the programme, students will be able to:
• Explain at least two structural causes of social inequality
• Analyse consequences of limited access to education or services
• Evaluate conservation effectiveness using evidence
• Compare stakeholder responsibilities logically
• Produce a developed, balanced evaluative response
