The GSL Catalyst was a virtual leadership development programme that took place over three days, from the 26th to the 28th of February 2021.
Creating a clean lifecycle for plastic
Plastic pollution has recently come to be one of the most critical complications and a major issue regarding environment cleanliness. When observing our environment, it is even visible to us as individuals how much we are surrounded by the accumulating amount of plastic waste. Be it finding a fish with a bottle cap stuck to its mouth or birds trying to consume plastic, every one of us has experienced first-hand the harm plastic pollution has inflicted on the wildlife.
Less Paper, Paper Less. Reducing paper usage within our school to promote sustainability
At the Northwest corner of Tsinghua University, Tsinghua International School (THIS)'s Spartans have initiated the project, Less Paper Paper Less, as not only a part of the International Relations class but also as a part of a mission to make the school more sustainable. This class has discussed everything from migration to globalization to sustainability to neoliberalism, and will soon discuss the dark themes behind terrorism.
Achieving it all, Hand In Hand
When brainstorming for potential problems we could address in our community we were looking for the people who needed the most support. We noticed it was often the people that did not speak about their worries out loud. Many parents work in Dubai to provide a better life for their children back in their home countries. As beautiful of an act this is, these kids which are often in school tend to have a lack of support when it comes to academic help.
Ecomoving: Sustainable Movement
Ecomoving's team intend to change the way in which pupils access the school - replacing traditional means of transport with more sustainable ones. With this there will be an improvement in traffic at school entrance and exit times, which will result in a reduction in atmospheric pollution.
Dear Young Writers of Indonesia…
This project idea came from when we realized how undervalued literature and arts are in our community. We’ve met people who wanted to write books or draw comics, but most eventually give up on it. Those who aspired to be authors or illustrators would often quit early because they have none of the resources nor experience to properly pursue it.
An eco-friendly plastic
The idea of my project arises from the need to reduce pollution because this is one of the main contributors to climate change. My project basically consists of 3 phases. The first is to create eco-bricks with inorganic garbage to build houses or small sofas for people with limited resources.
A Roof Over Every Head
I'm so lucky to have grown up with so many resources around me. I have never had to worry about my safety or daily necessities a privilege that I didn't fully understand until last a few years ago, a fault that I am ashamed to admit. I grew up heavily sheltered and when I learned about the extreme homeless crisis in America, where I live, I knew I had to do everything in my power to make a difference.
Life-changing experience
Recently I have done my first program called GSL world catalyst @home, due to the fact of the current pandemic situation the session was all done online via zoom at our own place. It was so interesting and inspiring at the same time to join and connect with global citizens around the world. With the same ambitious goal, we soon start our journey on the same boat.
Wenergy
As we all are aware of the fact that sewers constitute a large amount of waste materials, germs, and toxic chemicals which can cause health problems such as hepatitis, cholera, and typhoid in the place where sewage is dumped. It can also contaminate water sources that are used for drinking, bathing etc.
