GWAs Eco Schools Committee has a mission to inspire change,

encourage action and contribute towards more sustainable living at
GEMS World Academy-Dubai. We are hosting Environment Week to
generate awareness about everyday initiatives we can take to reduce
our carbon footprint, learn from various guest speakers and eco-
friendly product vendors, use recyclables for upcycling craft projects,
save energy, and generally inspire a culture of green living. We have
a host of fun, purposeful activities planned for primary classes
throughout the week, culminating in a Green Dress-Up Day for all
students.
