Daikin Develops Circle of Life Program to Teach Elementary Students About Biodiversity
Daikin and international NGO Conservation International have developed a biodiversity education program for elementary schools called Circle of Life. Conservation International is also Daikin's partner in a reforestation project in Indonesia.
The program focuses on Daikin's reforestation efforts in Indonesia. The lessons keep children interested and eager as they take part in role-playing and other activities that teach them how changes in ecosystems affect their lives and how their lives in Japan are related to the world's environmental problems.
The course covers four lessons in the classroom, and schools can request to have extra lessons taught by Daikin employees.
Since April 2010, Daikin has been providing schools all over Japan with free teaching materials and as of the end of March 2011, 34 schools had taken part in the program. We have also sent instructors to lead lessons at 10 schools.
Daikin hopes that this program provides an opportunity for young people, the environmental protectors of tomorrow, to act to solve environmental problems with the realization that the Earth is theirs to protect.
