Reuniting Students with Self & Nature
The Ashan Foundation is expanding beyond traditional methods, to a soilless technique (aquaponics) that mimics nature by creating an eco system through our Aqua-Light Interactive Learning (ALIL) program. Our goal is to engage students and create an awareness and appreciation for this alternative approach to farming.
Students will:
Understand the Earth as a Living Organism
Identify the Connection & Cycles of All Life Forms
Access Human Relations, Responsibility, & Connection to Nature (Aquaponics)
Examine the Significance of Food as a Source of Holistic Health (Physically & Mentally)
Topics Covered:
Earth (nature):
Alive, Responsive & Reactive
Discover the Cycles of Sustainability, Reproduction & Restoration Through Aquaponics
Creation (humanity):
Connection to Self, Others & Nature
All is Connected & Interdependent
