The exhibition will be open to the public today and tomorrow between 4pm and 6.30pm. ISB students will be present to explain to the visitors the importance of environment with the help of models and charts that they have prepared. 

“Education for Sustainable Development means including key sustainable development issues into teaching and learning. These include climate change, disaster risk reduction, biodiversity, poverty reduction and sustainable consumption,” said ISB chairman Prince S Natarajan, “It also requires participatory teaching and learning methods that motivate and empower learners to change their behaviour and take action for sustainable development.
