Oxygen is a barren land, a part of the dry deciduous landscape in the north of Bengaluru. The team (comprising the best practitioners in permaculture, outdoor education, creative arts and scientists) will work with our children and teachers to:
Rejuvenate the land and natural landscaping
One of our key focuses will be to understand soil health and the significance of planting native trees.
Basics of permaculture: how to respect the land, look at all its living creates collectively and share equally
Regenerating the two streams by identifying the source and creating a perineal water supply
Recharging the soil by flushing out the chemicals from neighbouring farms
Given that the land is water-scarce in a rain-shadow area, our program will prioritize water restoration as a crucial step towards addressing this local environmental challenge.
Nature and wildlife photography, documentation and ethics
Insights on solar energy, rainwater harvesting, and how to create water harvesting trenches
Children will learn to negotiate and support the neighbourhood farmers
An observation tower for children to observe the surroundings and monitor changes in time and season
Children will be taught how to create a butterfly garden and even consider creating an apiculture and bee farm at a later stage
Teachers and children will be equipped with practical skills in basic outdoor first-aid and emergency response, ensuring the effectiveness of our program.
An introduction to all forms of life on the land – insects, critters, birds etc.
