VOICES OF KASHMIR
Voices of Green Kashmir, organized by The Climate Project Foundation under the Green Campus Programme (GCP), was conducted from 15 December 2025 to 5 February 2026 across multiple districts in Kashmir. The initiative engaged students from government and private schools to document traditional sustainable practices through research and storytelling, connecting climate education with local culture and lived experiences. Students explored themes such as traditional architecture, agriculture, water conservation, crafts, and waste management by interacting with elders, artisans, and community members. Their submissions, ranging from written stories and photo essays to videos, artwork, and poetry, reflected both creativity and an understanding of sustainability rooted in everyday practices. The process also strengthened research, documentation, and communication skills among participants. The campaign concluded with the recognition of 10 student storytellers across junior and senior categories, selected for their originality and depth of work. Overall, the initiative highlighted the relevance of indigenous knowledge in addressing current environmental challenges while encouraging students to engage meaningfully with their communities.
