WORKSHOPS

Multiply the Message

A good teacher helps us to become good human being in the society and good citizen of the country. The future development of any nation is in the hands of teachers. What better way to multiply our environmental concerns to reach out to the youth. With this vision Trailblazers Foundation organises workshops called “Multiple the Message” funded by Dow Chemical International (India) across India. The workshop with few lectures and number of different pedagogy enables teachers to teach different subjects keeping environmental concerns very much on the top of the mind. Teachers have multiplied the message very well by adding innovative methods. It was wonderful to see that the teachers have gone beyond the walls of the schools and have multiplied the message in the community.
We have conducted training for over 4500 teachers impacted over 2 million students across Maharashtra. The workshop has won the best CSR project amongst fortune 500 companies in Boston 2014.

Career Vision

Trailblazers Foundation believes that there is talent in each corner of the world, lack of facilities should not be a reason for obstructing these stars to shine. Hence, Trailblazers Foundation organizes Career Guidance camps especially in the remote areas where many of the students are not even aware of what opportunities are flourishing. This initiative has helped a lot of students and properly guided in order what are the necessary things to be done to pursue their dreams. Trailblazers Foundation is proud and shall continue enlightening and guiding the path to success to those who need it.

LECTURES & DEMONSTRATIONS

Lecture On Ecology

Mr. Ranjan Biswas, Trustee, Trailblazers Foundation was invited as a guest lecturer at Nirmala Niketan to give a lecture on Ecology and its link to the Economy.  Ecology comes from Greek oikos “house, dwelling place, habitation”  + -logia “study of”.  Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with one another and with their physical environment. What better way to learn the ecology than to be a part of it. Each student was assigned a role as component of ecosystem and were asked to link all the components to each other. They understood the ecological services provided by each component and its worth. How nature tries to balance the imbalance created by humans to an extent but there is a limit to it was explained to them. Conservation of natural resources and sustainable lifestyle was stressed.  Thank you to Nirmal Niketan Ms Nilima Rodriques, Coordinator of Extension Centre and Dr. Ronald Yesudas, Assistant Professor for coordinating and facilitating the visit.
