On a sunny afternoon in Abu Dhabi, a group of young girls from a local school embarked on an educational trip to the newly opened Kushoof on Saadiyat Island. The mall, known for its commitment to sustainability, had become a topic of curiosity among these enthusiastic students. Led by their teacher, Ms. Amina, who believed in hands-on learning, the girls were eager to discover how a shopping mall could contribute to environmental conservation.
The highlight of their visit was the interactive session in the education center, where the girls dove into a variety of activities that showcased different aspects of sustainability. They explored digital exhibits on renewable energy, learning how wind turbines and geothermal energy are changing the way communities power their homes and businesses. In another corner, they engaged with a virtual reality setup that simulated the effects of pollution on marine life, which deeply moved them. Each station in the education center offered them new insights and practical ways to protect their environment.
Inspired by their visit, the girls decided to initiate a sustainability project at their school. With guidance from their teacher, they planned a small garden and a recycling drive, applying the lessons they learned at the kushoof. Their enthusiasm and initiatives sparked interest among other students and teachers, creating a ripple effect throughout the school.
As the sun set over Saadiyat Island, the girls left the Kushoof with a new sense of responsibility towards their environment. Their visit had not only been a fun day out but a stepping stone towards becoming young ambassadors of sustainability in their community.
