The Blue Workshops

High-school students at KC Gandhi School explored sustainability through practical modules, experiments, and interactive learning. The sessions build on the ideas in The Blue Book and the Blue Certification activity book.

Use the learning resources ↗

A facilitator seated with children during a classroom activity — Making room for students to ask questions.

Read it.
Try it. Discuss it.

The lesson plans introduce the concepts. The activity book asks students to work with them: observing ecosystems, thinking about pollution, and considering how everyday choices affect water.

Topics include biodiversity, food chains, chemical runoff, algae blooms, and restoring healthy ponds.

Explore the activity book

Younger students gathered together for an interactive school session — Learning through shared activities and conversation.

Start with
a question.

What lives in a pond? How do chemicals enter water? What changes when one part of an ecosystem is disturbed?

The resources give students a way to investigate these questions through explanations, observations, and hands-on activities.

Blue Horizon

Practical support for safer drinking water.

The project’s water-access work includes raising funds and distributing water purification devices through KC Gandhi School, Kalyan West. The school was the beneficiary of the capital campaign and hosted the distribution.

These efforts sit alongside the education programme, connecting what students learn about water with access to it.

what enters our water.

Aarav’s research examines pollutants carried from roads into water by rain, including tyre-wear chemicals such as 6PPD-quinone.

Work with the Institute of Chemical Technology has explored a low-cost, solar-driven system for detecting and breaking down a model pollutant using recovered carbon black.

This is research into pollutant treatment. It is separate from the school’s drinking-water purification programme.

What’s next

Planned

More accessible water information.

Blue Saathi and Blue Intelligence are planned digital initiatives.

Further book editions are planned to include source-to-tap mapping, water-quality reports, and community maintenance worksheets, with English, Hindi, and Marathi versions. Digital links are proposed for finding testing laboratories and official water information.

These additions are in development and are separate from the editions available to download now.

Support the work.

Support water access, share a resource, or bring environmental science into the classroom.
