On 9 February, the Environmental and Health Education Committee of our school extended a gracious invitation to “Plastic free Seas” to conduct an enlightening “PFS Microbead Workshop” in our school. The workshop proved to be an educational activity for our students as it raised their awareness of the critical need to reduce the use of products that contain microbeads in their daily lives, particularly facial scrubs, for the protection of the ocean and its marine ecology.

Through an engaging discovery-based learning approach, the students were able to scrutinize their daily products closely by leveraging advanced tools such as microscopes and iPads. This immersive experience enabled them to comprehend the deleterious impact of microbeads on the environment and instilled in them the importance of using eco-friendly alternatives in the future.
