The students of Nagarjuna Academy are equally excited. The first school in Nepal to have received the Global Curriculum Grant, Nagarjuna Academy has been in partnership with Cramlington Community High School since 2006. Cultural week celebrations, inter-cultural dialogue, and the establishment of an Eco-club and Eco-garden in both the schools are some of the activities done in the past years.

Currently working on a project “Water Testing of nearby Rivers”, the students plan to collect samples of the Bagmati River in Kathmandu, check the level of pollution in the samples and compare and contract it with the samples of the Thames River collected by the students in UK. The objective of this project is to create awareness among the students, teachers and community about water pollution and also to share ideas on ways to control and reduce the pollution of rivers. “Our partnership with Cramlington and the initiation of such projects has made us aware. We now know that what we do to the environment today is what we have to face tomorrow. I now think twice before throwing a wrapper on the street or littering my classroom,” states Yukta Yadav, Vice-president of the Eco-club.
