About the Project

The birds & bees project is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Knowledge Platform Pvt (Ltd) is the only Pakistani organisation to win this grant among 15 other grantees from across the world. The year-long project is a one-of-a-kind pilot programme.

Birds & Bees is designed on the principle of informal education in an informal setup. We call it “learning with nature”. Through this project, we aim to teach young learners 21^st century skills, which include but are not limited to critical thinking; creativity and innovation; communication and collaboration, and civic literacy and global awareness. The rationale behind this innovative project is to give young Pakistanis the opportunity to explore learning through unusual means and to develop an interest in environmental conservation.

This project offers a unique opportunity for learners to explore new areas of vocational interest and to understand the significance of preserving our natural environment. The project is designed to build the capacity of learners through multiple hands-on activities. Through this programme, they will learn the concepts of entrepreneurship, and they will be challenged to be innovative, creative, to think and analyse critical problems, to communicate and collaborate with other team members, and develop a sense of civic responsibility.
