The Cost of Negligence: Environmental Crisis in Sri Lanka | EkoGalaxy
EkoGalaxy
every school, a climate school
EkoGalaxy is a platform for climate education & engagement.
We bring Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) programs to school & college students.
Our Mission
It's often said, we need to leave a better planet for our children. This is true.
​
However, at EkoGalaxy we also ask - what kind of children are we raising for the planet?
​
Our dream is to guide students towards a healthier & happier engagement with our shared planet (shared not just with one another, but with a rich biodiversity!).
We foster this through meaningful, dynamic, holistic & enduring pedagogy.
