Celebrating Holi Sustainably: IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) 1 Learners Craft Organic Colours with Tender Heart NGO at Shiv Nadar School Faridabad

In celebration of the upcoming festival of Holi, students of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) 1 at Shiv Nadar School Faridabad participated in an interactive and educational session conducted by Tender Heart NGO.

The workshop centred on creating organic, vibrant Holi powders using natural ingredients. The facilitators began by addressing the environmental and health concerns linked to chemical-based colours, prompting students to reflect on how traditional celebrations can be reimagined in more sustainable and responsible ways.

This discussion led into a lively hands-on activity. Under guided supervision, students prepared natural colours using turmeric for yellow, beetroot for pink, and dried flower petals for bright hues. The process was creative, collaborative, and rooted in real-world environmental awareness.

The session strengthened students’ understanding of sustainable practices while fostering teamwork, creativity, and cultural appreciation. It was a meaningful experience that empowered learners to celebrate Holi in a safe, joyful, and environmentally conscious manner.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Tender Heart NGO for guiding our learners towards thoughtful and responsible celebrations.
