JAKARTA - Air Talks (National Children's Air Plants) together with Accenture Indonesia are committed to creating clean air in schools through the 'Blue School Alliance' an environmental education program aimed at increasing awareness about air pollution and its impact on health.

This program involves students, parents, teachers, and the school community in various educational and interactive activities to encourage awareness of the school environment about the importance of their role in overcoming the problem of air pollution.

Primadita Rahma, Head of the Air Talk Program, said children are one of the most vulnerable groups affected by air pollution, ranging from problems of growing to academic performance. For this reason, it is important for the education community to be aware of the right to clean air for children.

Air speech through School Alliance Blue invites the education community, ranging from teachers, students, and parents, to voice the right to clean air for a healthier future generation. Using proven educational tools and involving experienced resource persons and trainers, we hope air pollution will be the government's priority," said Prima at SMA Regina Pacis, West Jakarta, quoted Thursday, February 27.

Through a holistic approach, Blue School Alliance presents reading sessions, workshops, and discussions with experts to introduce the concept of air pollution and mitigation efforts that can be carried out. This program also utilizes interactive education tools and creative activities to build a deeper understanding among students and educators.

Schools are key elements in this initiative, where every school that is incorporated is encouraged to become an agent of change in implementing policies and habits that support better air quality. The main goals of this program include: Reducing air pollution in the school environment; Building environmentally friendly habits; and Creating healthy and sustainable schools.

As part of the preparations, this program begins with Training of Trainers on January 4 and 11, 2025 at Bhavana Brews, Kemang, South Jakarta, involving eight experienced trainers. These trainers will then guide schools in Jabodetabek in order to be able to implement programs effectively in accordance with the applicable curriculum. Since the launch of this program, Air Talks have visited 10 schools in Jabodetabek with a total of more than 1400 students and more than 100 teachers.

With the Blue School Alliance, it is hoped that schools in Jabodetabek will be more concerned about the importance of air quality and contribute actively in overcoming the problem of air pollution for a healthier and more sustainable future.
