Environmental Seminars at DIL
As part of Developments in Literacy's (DIL) summer programming, I created and taught environmental lessons for students across Pakistan, combining science, accessibility, and creativity. The bilingual program reached over seventy students in five schools, exploring climate change, renewable energy, and sustainability through interactive discussions and hands-on activities. Pakistan in particular is among the countries most impacted by climate change, experiencing droughts, monsoon rains, water scarcity, rapidly rising temperatures, and more. These lessons were designed to empower students with climate knowledge to recognize how their own communities can lead local solutions to global challenges.
