6.       The participants gave their opinion on written form in the prescribed sheet, they were given. There, they sorted out the cause of environment disaster and they came up with 2 unique ideas that can save our environment.  As the cause of environment disaster, both locally and globally, they sorted out the things below-

a)      Local: Use of Polithene, plastics, deforestation, mass population, natural disasters,  air pollution by smoke, soil erosion and water polution through waste disposal, sound pollution, mismanagement, lack of education and awareness etc.

b)      Global: Climate change, Nuclear explosion,  Ocean Pollution,

   Proposals given by the participants:

a)      Awareness building up through campaign, workshops, leaflet distribution, photo exhibition on the consequences of environment disaster.

b)      Among the students, they wanted to select at least 5 representatives who will motivate and engage other students for leading the further awareness build up campaigns for saving environment

7) The organizer delivered the conclusion speech and after then a photo session was held. The participants with the most unique ideas were encouraged with little gifts at this time.

Evaluation of the organizer

1)      The participants were very supportive, encouraged, motivated and they wanted more workshops like this in future, they also wanted the workshop to run a little longer. But since there was some limitation about time, we couldn?t hold it much longer.

2)      All the participants agreed and appreciated to participate in this kind of various programs on environment.

3)      Since they gave the proposal to select 5 representatives, who will continue this awareness campaign go farther, the organizer thinks it will help them not only to create a healthy environment but also to build up leadership skills in them.

4)      The campaign was successful to build awareness in a small scale, among only 50students. But hopefully, if the program could include the family or some social representatives, that would create a larger effect.
