Lessons Learnt From Six Years Of Organising Wipro Earthian
Sustainability Next
|March 2017
Key learnings from Earthian initiatives so far
Wipro-earthian was started in 2011 and has seen six editions till now. During this period, it has evolved in its scope. One of our directional shifts was to focus on rural schools much more. For this, outreach and constant engagement with the schools is important. Therefore, partnering with the right organizations is important to meet this objective. We have adopted a multi-pronged strategy in this regard and have forged multiple partnerships with both civil society organizations and government institutions.The response from these rural schools has surpassed our expectations. We have observed the children from such schools to be not only enthusiastic but they also demonstrate an innate understanding of sustainability issues. This probably stems from being more directly in touch with nature.
