Now along with the food what children also leave the training to adapt to the ever changing world with confidence lets travel to the hundred kilometers from the city of mumbai where a school is working with one of the most marginalized communities in the country by challenging every conventional notion in how education should be imparted. Here at the temora entry school in the sleepy coastal town of daraa know about one hundred ten kilometers from them by nothing will strike you as ordinary damage or Even Initiative that is working with the marginalised tribal communities in their home who have historically been denied their right to Health Education you know who are decent living. Access to their forests and this is a community that is at the bottom rung of the society for various reasons this school is are not just a school its an experiment its a radical or dollar give to say that education must be about social justice and together along with this group of people we are experimenting with how open source open source technologies. Can really bring about change into a new creation. At the tamarind tree classrooms resemble village hearts just like the homes of the local warley tribal families for whom the school was made. Moreover the educational module is a radical departure from the hierarchical you need to reckon or systems common in the field. Here students or men toward one on one at an individual ised pace in an atmosphere that encourages interaction openness and plenty of scope for children to explore subjects by themselves. Young students are learning to chord their learning to program probably as they go order them learning to make small video animation games their learning to produce things that are very intimate the other very important principle and im in trees world is that as we said earlier we are part of the open Source Movement so every thing on our campus is open. It was over fifteen years ago that mumbai residents michaud chola and hemant babu moved to donahoe since then theyve worked closely with the local community in building the school. Determined not to turn this into a Charitable Institute the School Charges the parents fees ensuring that they also stay invested in a very its easier for a. First generation learners of the parents of the students really they just have faith they just have trust that ok what do with these guys are doing they must be doing it right because they didnt have an idea. Having said that i must say that there are a lot of other parents who have been exposed to lets say the conventional view of lets say computing. Ngor technology they are exposed to that and they do schools that what happens to my child when he grows up learning opensource and when the he or she will go out in the world. How will she be able to cope and we reassure them that look. Its not a big deal you know ultimately the rules are the ones what we are is the concept. While there have been plenty of challenges along the way the tamarind tree journey has been deeply rewarding for the team their years of determined effort have won them recognition the world over. Education can alter the direction of ones future a group of students in kazakhstan are keen on learning how a German Village went off the grid to harness all the electricity from sun and bio gas but can they apply their learning back or. Lets find out. This group of thirty students and engineers from kazakstan and berlin listening intently as retirees expect kapur tells them about the innovations that have made his village felt time famous it generates all its own power. The Information Center is housed in what was once the village pub. The visitors head out into the snow to inspect the old times Main Attractions at the heart of the village is Energy Production is the bio gas plant. Used to be the head of the local Farmers Cooperative and was one of the initiators of whats being called the felt time energy miracle. It was extremely important to build the plant so that we can use our own import corn and some whole grain rice that we produce ourselves or thats because there was an unrealistically large facility where wed have to truck in the feed material from outside. And whats left over that digest it can be used on our fields again so that we have a cycle here that doesnt require major transport plans. Originally the bio gas play. It was only intended to keep the animal stalls but then residents joined the project that was the start of felt times energy transition. A one hundred thirty villages were sick and tired of the big utility companies. They wanted to be independent. Doreen russian man and her husband were among the originators of the project years ago they still live in. The. Household heating here comes from the bio gas atlanta or the woodchip. Where our electricity is produced by the wind but when it doesnt generate enough current if theres no wind or somethings broken down then the bio gas plant can take over right away. Construction began in two thousand and nine the village got its own electricity grid and heating pipes since then thousands of visitors from around the world have come to find out about energy selfsufficiency. You know i think you want the visitors find this or that aspect most interesting depending on the region they come from the feedback we get from visitors from africa is that the photovoltaic facility would be interesting to supply power to remote villages there may be areas that have no electricity today a photovoltaic array would be very hopeful for that. The Energy Turnaround has created jobs in the village families have moved in. As a charging point for ecards electricity is home grown of course it comes from the fields of felt time. The fifty five Wind Turbines here generate enough power for about sixty five thousand households much more than the village can use. So its build a Big Energy Storage plant a set of large batteries to even out the ups and downs of the power supply. When we built this battery facility the big question was how can we run it at a high. Acceptable cost the answer was use it to balance out variations in great frequency the stored energy can be drawn on when theres no wind for the turbines all sunshine for the photo voltaic the rays it can be used to supply the village hall so a Business Model that appeals to the visitors from kazakhstan. From the university and. What weve seen today green Energy Renewables bio gas plants is all very interesting and relevant for us in kazakhstan. Time has shown its guests how local Energy Autonomy clean energy and a mix of renewables can really work in practice it might well soon be the talk of the town in astana.
