Habitat care festival at BSD

TANGERANG: The German International School in Bumi Serpong
Damai housing estate held a one-day environmental
festival, at which 18 school teachers from private and state
schools in and around the complex took part.

The festival is aimed at transferring knowledge about the
environment to the participants, BSD spokesman Dhony Rahajoe
said.

Meanwhile, Gunter Ott, an Austrian environmental expert who
had earlier trained the teachers, said that they were expected to
transfer their knowledge on activities to ensure a clean and
comfortable environment to their students and the students then
share the knowledge with their parents.

The festival activities also featured an art workshop to
express students' ideas, feelings, action and awareness about the
environment.

Besides that, examples of educational achievements by students
in classes, such as processing salty water by using solar power,
were also displayed. -- JP
