Redstone is an experimental school and learning center based on an organic farm. Our aim is to facilitate learning situations that stimulate and encourage our students to work on building the foundations of a just and sustainable society. Here the emphasis is on a child-centered approach and on experiential learning. It is equally important that it should address the immediate needs of our social, cultural and physical milieu. Sustainability implies mapping existing resources and devising a strategy to enhance them.

In many cases this dependency is soon becoming dangerous due to the side effects of these drugs - which are increasingly becoming prohibitively expensive. In Our Backyard project directly addresses this need. In the process students reconnect to nature with her incredible bio-diversity. Digital documentation using multimedia provided cutting edge technology for an experience in international collaboration. Apart from the obvious IT skills, the project provided the opportunity for students to showcase and share their rich heritage - a legacy of wisdom accumulated over millennia.
