The session consists of presentations by the two environmental education specialists who have been involved in an environmental restoration project – Bindubhushan Dubey and Dr. Radhika Borde. Bindubhushan Dubey holds a world record for conducting workshops related to the environment and Dr. Radhika Borde is a cultural geographer who has been actively involved in community projects in India. The session showcases a project that has aimed to teach students about environmental destruction, regeneration and preservation – as such it is aligned with Indian cosmological ideas. The project has applied these ideas to the task of the restoration and ecological upkeep of areas in which mining activities have been recently completed. The session aims to share the experiences of two-way learning that the two environmental education specialists participating in this project have had, with the aim to spark similar such initiatives in other parts of the world, as well as globally.
