Green Contributor and the University of Nurnberg (Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg) have provided such a platform for the students of Bangalore.

Students of Ryan International School, Kundanahalli, Ryan International School, Yelahanka, and India International School are working together on this prestigious project.

Yashika Kalra, Megha Majumdar, Amrit Kaur, Aishwarya Murali, Vaishali Kumar, Pravallika Reddy, Akhil Yeerasam Aditya Menon, Sourav S.N., Volisha, and Neha are the students of both the Ryan schools, while Sureen Hasan, Silvia Gonsalves, Wisit Ngamsriwiset, Bright, and Deeraj are the participants from India International School. The project is on climate change. The students are involved in an in-depth study of climate change. They are learning about Copenhagen Conference and why countries could not come to any convergence, the difference in perception about it by people in different countries and identifying the gaps to bridge this. Through this project they are also tying to find solutions. They are involved in taking concrete actions locally and globally. They will understand that the key to solving problems is through global cooperation and collaboration.

They are going to do this by being connected with researchers from one of the largest universities in Germany, with some of the top schools from the advanced economies such as the U.S. and Germany.
