The primary objective of this programme was to cultivate environmental consciousness among primary school students, particularly those aged 10 to 12 years, by highlighting the importance of reducing plastic usage and fostering love for the environment. Additionally, the programme aimed to encourage active student participation in hands-on learning activities, designed to spark curiosity and interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. This approach is aligned with the aspirations outlined in the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013–2025.
Throughout the programme, a variety of engaging and interactive activities were conducted to effectively deliver educational and awareness goals. The programme received enthusiastic support from the school, and the active participation of the students demonstrated the effectiveness of experiential learning in cultivating a proactive attitude towards environmental preservation.
The organisers express their sincere gratitude to the Asia Pacific Network for Global Change Research, FST undergraduate students, the Faculty of Science and Technology Student Association (PMFST), and the UKM Student Affairs Division (HEP) for their financial and technical support. Appreciation is also extended to all parties, both directly and indirectly involved, who contributed to the success of this programme.
It is hoped that similar programmes will continue and expand in the future to nurture a generation that is more environmentally conscious and responsible.
