Newsletter quarter 3rd- 2025

From where we left,During our last communication, we were in the process of organising and facilitating visual storytelling workshops for two of our regular groups. So, picking up from where we left off. Green Life Conservancy’s updates from the third quarter of 2025

Visual storytelling workshop – 2 – GUPS

The highlights of this workshop at Government Upper Primary School, Majhera, were the theatrical activities that the students thoroughly enjoyed. The expressions and imaginations that sparked through these activities made way for storytelling. Sanket began the workshop with his power-packed performative act of his Bhooka character. Shortcomings from the previous workshop were worked on to make the current one impactful. We plan to soon publish the comic frames the students have created into a storybook.  Yet again, we would like to thank you all for making this happen.

Resourceful offering

Nature learning / Environmental Videos

On Nature’s Duty has produced numerous videos that serve as valuable facilitation tools. As nature learning facilitators, we recognize the positive effect these videos have on young learners—especially in rural contexts—by bringing wildlife close to them. Incorporating these resources can enhance our facilitation methods. Nature Science Initiative, an associated organization in Dehradun, has included our content, Valley of Birds Under Threat, in their nature learning course, Nature Vidya, inspiring us to continue this work. 

One for the inclusivity

We noted the limitation in availability of nature learning content in local languagesand community feedback on our Kumaoni dialect production. As a result, On Nature’s Duty will now release each video in at least two languages, English and Hindi. 

Audio – Visual Facilitation Module on: SHELTERING LIFE

We have curated a new nature-based audiovisual facilitation module- SHELTERING LIFE: CONNECTING NATURAL ANIMAL HOMES WITH HUMAN-MADE STRUCTURES. The module will introduce the participants or students to Animal shelters, their forms, needs, and purpose through the presented videos. The module will also develop on these factors to introduce or discuss how natural buildings are most definitely a sustainable choice.

Offline documentation prototype- Seasonwatch

Limited internet and smartphone access in rural or remote regions led us to design an easy-to-follow offline documentation prototype inspired by SeasonWatch. We have used it with our students a couple of times now, and they enjoy the process of recording observations in this manner. We went on to upload the same on our digital devices based on the availability of the resource.

updates from the quarter

What are we upto On Nature’s Duty?

We are back to producing short environmental videos after a break of about a year, and we restarted our efforts last month. Check out our latest addition to the channel, a video on the entire family of a Red-billed Blue Magpie feasting on garbage. Why do they do it, and what are the consequences? The narrative covers it all.

Young Minds exploring the local resources

The students of Happy Children’s Library were facilitated in a session on exploring the local resources. During this, the students explored the nearest water source, a spring (Naul or Shrot). We used an enquiry-based approach to learn about the how and whys of the water table, the process of natural sedimentation and filtration that takes place in such a terrain. The session was designed to enhance our relationship with the land, inspired by our indigeneity.
