Schools all around the world will be encouraged to participate in this championship through fundraising efforts that will rebuild lost forests and preserve existing ones.
In a response to the alarming rate of global deforestation, a passionate group of determined students have proposed the development of a worldwide initiative, "The World School Championship (WSC) 2015". The WSC will work to counteract the devastation and affects of this loss by challenging schools worldwide to fundraise for 18 reforestation projects in four continents. All class participants will receive a diploma for their involvement and a World Championship Award will be given at the end of 2015.
Restoration is vital in educating and empowering a worldwide community of gardeners to become guardians of their forests and wildlife once again. The project, with the help of local volunteers, will fund equipment, seeds, training and planting of organic tree and plant nurseries in their villages. Over a million seedlings per year will be planted providing fruits for improved nutrition for children, soil erosion prevention, a slowing of climate change and the preservation of biodiversity among plants and animals. Children will learn educational skills that can be applied to grow their own fruits and vegetables. In turn, that broken bridge of dreams called "poverty" can be eliminated.
This project aims not only to benefit the land and inhabitants in countries such as Brazil, Indonesia, Ecuador, Madagascar, Philippines and Morocco from the destruction of forest habitats for firewood, building materials and agriculture, but also for a global engagement of youth. Student partnering, also known as the "twining of classrooms and students" with other cultures, encourages ecological balance and cultural unity in habitat restoration. This will empower and educate a new generation of proud guardians of their forests and wildlife on a local and global level.
All sponsors will have access to the growth of the WSC initiative and have the opportunity to follow, over many years, the ongoing emergence of a young global community.
The World School Championship is organized by the Benalmadena-based MICE agency Indigo Travel & Events, through its "Art for All" initiative.
