The Eco-Schools film shows the positive impact of its environmental education programme on pupils of SK Temonyong primary school, one of the three Langkawi schools sponsored by The Datai Pledge. Present in over 5,000 schools in Malaysia, the Eco-Schools programme was brought to the country by the NGO Green Growth Asia Foundation (GGAF).
The need for such a programme was highlighted by a recent UN study* which indicated that nine out of ten children in Malaysia have been affected by Climate Change, with many saying they need more knowledge in order to tackle the problem. The film documents the programme’s initiatives and illustrates how educating children on sustainability can produce a ripple effect within their wider community.
