Project Green School, an initiative by Project Mumbai aims to engage school administrators, staff, parents & most importantly students to engage in environmental activities like growing their own food in organic garden & planting trees in their school campus.

We have also taken on the task to beautify the walls of the schools so that the students spend their time at a safe, energizing & attractive learning environment.

With the help of the BMC Education department, we have started activities in 2 BMC schools namely MPS LK Waghji Cambridge Matunga & Nadkarni Park Marathi School, Wadala.

The Matunga school has been adorned with a wall painting of Buckingham Palace depicting traditional ceremony of Change of Guard along with planting of native Indian trees in their school ground.

We spoke to the students, teachers & parents about the important role trees play to provide oxygen to the environment & make the air quality better.

We have revived the oldest form of indigenous art on the walls of Nadkarni Park Marathi School by creating Warli wall artwork. The painting is the most ancient form of art talking about the tribal way of life through folklores & geometric figures made from lines, dots, triangles & circles. The students have developed a keen interest in art & have developed a curiosity in getting to know the origins of the art.
An organic nutri-garden has been established in both the schools, by far the best learning experience for students outside the classroom.

Children have, very enthusiastically, helped to set up the garden by setting up the garden beds, adding soil, planting seeds & watering them. This will motivate them to protect the environment as they grow older.

We are grateful to High Commission of Canada in India for supporting us in this endeavour.
