Composting Workshops for Schools and Kids
We believe children are our best ambassadors for a greener future. Our hands-on workshops teach kids the magic of turning kitchen waste into black gold, one small lesson at a time.
A peek into one of our children's workshops. We create a fun, engaging environment where kids can learn about composting, segregation, and even make friends with maggots.
Let's teach the next generation that kitchen waste can become black gold. Here, children get a hands-on experience, learning to sieve compost and understand the transformation process.

Through the Bhumi NGO's "Eco-Champ" program, we distributed composters to schools across India. Here, students in Chennai get their first hands-on lesson.
Kids at a school get a hands-on experience setting up their first composter. Practical activities like this make the concept of composting stick.
We are proud to be part of the Eco-Champ initiative, helping students across the country start their composting journey right in their schools.
Our collaboration with Bhumi NGO has helped distribute composters to schools in Pune, Patna, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, and Hyderabad, spreading the message far and wide.
About this collection
In our workshops, children don't just sit and listen, they get their hands dirty. Whether it is a school Eco-Champ initiative or our Summer Paathshala, we focus on the biology of waste, from meeting the decomposer insects to sieving actual compost. The goal is simple: to help children understand that kachra is not gross, but a resource for their future.
Teaching the Next Generation
We don't believe in just talking about sustainability. We believe in doing it. Our workshops for children aged 9 to 12 are designed to disrupt the idea that waste is something to be thrown away and forgotten. By engaging with the science of decomposition, kids learn how to see the cycle of life right in their own kitchens.
What Happens in Our Paathshala?
- Biology Lab: Kids use magnifying glasses to observe decomposer insects, learning that maggots are actually helpful workers, not just pests.
- Segregation Games: We turn the boring task of separating wet and dry waste into competitive races, making the rules stick.
- Hands-on Composting: We guide students through setting up their own composters, from layering to harvesting. They learn that turning their own leftover fruit peels into rich, dark soil is actually fun.
Why It Matters
Our collaboration with initiatives like the Bhumi NGO's Eco-Champ program has taken us to schools in Pune, Patna, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, and Hyderabad. We have seen how children who attend these sessions go home and hold their parents accountable for segregation.
We offer these sessions in various formats:
- School Programs: Tailored 2-day camps or single sessions to fit your school calendar.
- Summer Paathshala: Our deep-dive holiday programs for curious minds.
- Community Events: Interactive demos for housing societies where kids lead the way.
Whether you are a teacher looking for an experiential science module or a parent wanting to teach your child about environmental stewardship, we provide the tools, the expertise, and the messy fun to make it happen.
