Project Scenario: Regions 12: 2015-2016
http://eumindregions12.weebly.comProject Regions emphasizes on research and survey carried out near your school and homes. Along with an environment perspective, we have included an activity in school which I hope will spread awareness and be a lot of fun to organize.
