Sila Connection 2014 presents innovations of university students for green schools

 
Page Content



New York University Abu Dhabi is to host the third annual “Sila Connection 2014” Conference on 21st and 22nd of November, 2014, which will witness the provision of theses from students at different universities in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi to develop innovative solutions in the field of green schools.

The Conference is the first of its kind that brings together elite groups of university students from all over Abu Dhabi. The participating students represent Abu Dhabi University, Higher Colleges of Technology, Khalifa University, New York University Abu Dhabi, Petroleum Institute, Paris-Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, and Zayed University. The students will be divided into competing teams in order to work on the development of ideas that contribute to the expansion of the green schools network in Abu Dhabi, as the American Community School will provide research studies as a reference for the students through their development of green solutions.

The students will be supervised by experts in this challenge, and will be supported and followed up by a group of professionals in the field of sustainable environment in the UAE, and the winning team will receive a prize worth 5000 US Dollars, in order to put their solutions into practice at the American Community School in Abu Dhabi.

The students will go through the challenge of coming up with solutions applicable at schools, based on the environmental and health standards, which provide an environment that encourages education, and at the same time, saves energy, natural resources, and costs.

Myung-In Sohn, Director of Sila Connection 2014, said "We are reaching out on a personal level. Partnering with the American Community School in Abu Dhabi allows us to contextualize this year's conference focus subject “green schools”, and provides our delegates with a sense of grounding to develop even more sophisticated solutions".
