PART 5/5 (Continued from Part 4/5)

Formal Presentation at school (June 2^nd Week)

At an outdoor terrace in my school amidst a green setting, I conducted a formal event including a 2^nd presentation to my class in presence of my class teacher and the Headmistress. 

After this event I presented the Tunza Ecogen gift bags to my Headmistress and class teacher.They truly appreciated the gifts.

Presentations to other classes in school 
(June 3^rd week- June end)

My celebration for World Environment Day was still not over. In the last 2 weeks of June, (with the permission of my Headmistress, who is now convinced about the value of Tunza Eco Gen Forum), I visited from class to class in my school to introduce the entire school to Tunza Eco Generation, through a verbal introduction and distributing brochures.

Presentation in my Hostel 'Bundesschülerheim Krems'
28th June

My hostel, closed for the summer vacation yesterday, on Friday 29th June, and we had a barbecue gathering on the evening of 28th June, before all students left for their respective homes. 

I discussed with the hostel headmaster Prof. Mag. Johann Böhm, a presentation about Tunza Ecogen (similar to what I had done in the school), and presented him with the Tunza gift that he accepted with appreciation. We planned to give a small talk at the hostel closing event. 

However, it proved impossible to make any serious presentation, as the setup was very informal and casual. People were constantly on the move- arriving and leaving at different times; and the whole atmosphere was somewhat chaotic, not conducive for a presentation that I had in mind. 

Thus, I distributed the brochures with my card and handed out the giveaways to the students. Prof. Böhm, assured me that he will try to arrange a formal event for me to present the Forum to the hostel inmates, in the next academic year that starts in September.

Conclusion

Nature does not recognize the boundaries that we humans draw on land. Thus the key to solving environmental problems, lies in tackling them, not only just on local basis, but also internationally, through global collaboration to seek solutions.

Tunza Ecogen is an ideal platform for such international information exchange and collaboration. Through this forum, youth from all over the world will have a voice for their concerns and solutions related to environmental conservation. They can share their opinions or knowledge; learn and teach, as well as be mentored; and eventually contribute to a greener tomorrow. By introducing more and more children and youth to Tunza Ecogen, I hope to contribute to an environmentally conscious future generation. 

To me this was an ideal and fruitful celebration of WED 2018, and a satisfying experience.
