How Childhood Experiences Cultivate Lifelong Stewardship
In an age where childhood is increasingly dominated by screens and schedules, something essential is quietly slipping away—children’s innate bond with the natural world. Many grow up without ever touching soil, planting a seed, or witnessing the miracle of compost transforming waste into life. And yet, it is in these small, wonder-filled moments that the roots of responsibility, resilience, and reverence for the Earth begin to grow. The challenge is clear: how do we raise environmentally conscious citizens when their early years are detached from nature?
Organo Et School offers a joyful, deeply intentional response—embedding sustainability into the daily rhythm of learning through experiences that are playful, purposeful, and profoundly transformative. By inviting children to fall in love with the Earth, we aren’t just shaping their childhoods—we’re shaping the future.
We believe that the seeds of real change are planted in childhood. Not through lectures, fear, or data overload—but through connection, experience, and wonder.
Our mission is to foster a lifelong love for the natural systems that sustain life—food, water, and energy—and to empower children to become environmental stewards, equipped to lead positive change in any field or profession they choose.
Nature is the First Teacher
In a fast-moving, screen-heavy world, children are growing increasingly distant from the natural systems that sustain us. Most of them don’t know where their food comes from, how water reaches their taps, or what happens to waste once it’s thrown "away". At OES, we invite children to reconnect.
We let them get their hands dirty in the soil. We guide them as they nurture seeds into vegetables and show them how compost turns yesterday’s waste into tomorrow’s nourishment. These aren’t just cute school activities—they are life lessons.
From Soil to Stewardship
Every week at OES, we see children move through immersive programs like Be A Farmer and Goshala Visits. Over the course of just a few weeks, we witness incredible transformation:
When a 5-year-old learns to prepare Jeevamrutham or understands how neem oil protects plants, we aren’t just teaching sustainability—we’re showing them that they have power. The power to care. The power to act. The power to change their world.
Small Acts, Big Impact
We don’t wait until children are "old enough" to understand environmental responsibility. We begin early, knowing that no change is too small.
Switching off lights, using cloth napkins, sorting waste, saving seeds, watching a butterfly. these are everyday acts, but when rooted in purpose and understanding, they become the building blocks of a mindset—a sustainable mindset. And that mindset, carried into adulthood, is what will shape the future.
Raising Leaders for Every Path
Not every child will become an environmental scientist or climate policy maker. But every child can grow up to be an informed citizen, a conscious consumer, and a compassionate leader in their own field—whether that’s architecture, education, law, medicine, or design.
Because sustainability isn’t a subject—it’s a way of being. And once children fall in love with the Earth, they’ll carry that love into everything they do.
It Takes a Vision
We don’t do this alone. Through field visits, workshops, and our STEL (Sustainability Through Experiential Learning) program, we collaborate with other schools, educators, and parents who believe in this vision. From banana yards to goshala trails, from microgreen farms to composting pits, we’re building a community of changemakers.
And it’s working. Step by step, school by school, we’re seeing a new kind of childhood take root—one where nature is not a lesson, but a lived experience.
Organo Et School empowers people to embrace eco-living mindsets, behaviors, and habits. We recognize that for any positive impact to be sustainable, it must be long-term and inter-generational.
Organo Et School is a learning initiative set up by Organo in 2017 and has been facilitating field visits and workshops for Schools and Interest Groups. Organo Et School, an experiential learning initiative by Organo since 2017, has impacted over 8000 students, 2000 adults,1250 community residents, and 500 corporate employees.
