For two weeks in September, the 10th-grade students embarked on a new journey in the world of fashion design while promoting sustainability by focusing on the environmental principle of “reduce, reuse, and recycle.” ETA Manav Rungta and his co-teachers encouraged students to creatively incorporate these sustainability concepts by using recycled materials to craft elegant dresses for male and female models. This project aimed to promote environmental betterment and sustainability within the community while fostering a deeper understanding of people’s responsibility toward the environment.

On Friday, September 20, the students concluded the project by hosting a school-wide fashion show. The student models transformed the courtyard into a catwalk to present their designs to the entire school. This showcased their fashion skills and demonstrated their commitment to sustainability. The project, as a whole, illustrated how creativity can go hand in hand with environmental responsibility.

In support of the project, Manav played a key role in his 10th-grade classes by engaging with the students, assisting them in crafting their costumes and answering any questions they had. Manav’s guidance helped the students embrace the challenge of turning recycled materials into innovative and stylish designs, emphasizing the importance of sustainability.

Manav Rungta is currently teaching at SMAN 15 Semarang, Central Java.
