Grade 5 Explores a Greener Future
at Sustainability Expo 2024
Grade 5 students took their learning beyond the classroom with an exciting visit to the Sustainability Expo 2024 in Bangkok—the largest event of its kind in ASEAN! This immersive experience was part of their “Sharing the Planet” unit, which explores the balance between human impact, conflict, and community responsibility.
The Expo was a hub of innovation, showcasing companies and organizations dedicated to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Students engaged with interactive booths, discovering groundbreaking products and initiatives designed to protect the planet. From eco-friendly technology to social impact projects, they witnessed real-world solutions addressing global challenges.
Beyond exploring sustainability, the visit sparked deep discussions about conflict resolution and personal responsibility. Seeing how businesses and communities tackle environmental and social issues firsthand helped students make connections between local and global challenges.
Most importantly, the Expo served as a source of inspiration for the students' upcoming PYP Exhibition. Many left with new ideas and passions they hope to explore further, eager to take action and make a difference.
This eye-opening experience proved that even young minds can play a role in shaping a more sustainable future—one step at a time!
