Our students are participating in UNESCO’s competition of Book Covers making (http://www.unesco.org/new/fileadmin/MULTIMEDIA/HQ/ERI/pdf/WBCD_concours_EN.pdf)
Some more ideas for everyone:

Connect with other ISL members for collaborations on World Book and Copyright Day and Earth Day.
We are also talking to an IASL member school in Mangolia to work together on World Book Day and Earth Day.
We have invited ‘Tata Energy Resource Institute’, India to come and conduct an interactive session on Green cities: Green schools and put up an exhibition of books for students. Their publications are excellent resource for school children.
Our students have participated yesterday in poster making competition on Green Schools. All entries would be exhibited on 22-23 April for the whole school community to view.
Our students are also reusing newspaper and old issues of magazines to create interesting envelops with a slogan on Green schools. These would be used to carry books given by TERI.
Paper Reuse: We have gathered one side blank stationary to be converted into a notepad. All students and teachers will get a notepad on WBD/Earth Day.
All members from anywhere in the world are welcome to join us or share what they are doing on these days.
