Building the Future: The Experience of the Green School in South India
We are celebrating this year the fourth anniversary of our pilot school built in the rural region of Mambakkam, Tamil Nadu, South India.

Its uniqueness lies in the fact that the entire construction process and architectural project followed a strict ecological protocol. Adherence to this guideline earned it the prestigious "Platinum" label from the Indian Green Building Council, making it the first rural Indian institution to receive this distinction.

This anniversary is an opportunity to rediscover the documentary we dedicated to this project. Filmed over several months, this film chronicles the progress of the school's construction and its place in the history of our organization. Enriched with about ten interviews, this short film offers reflections on both the education of our future generations and how we should conceive the buildings of the future.
