At Kebun Berdaya Community Gardens in Denpasar, Bali, there’s a vibrant hub of learning and environmental awareness taking root. The gardens have become a nurturing ground for both young and old, and they have a great ally in ecogames.net products. These educational games help with the community garden’s impact, engaging children in the garden’s mission to empower local kids with environmental awareness. The project was founded with the support from the Bali Live Festival, a spectacular 12-hour online festival featuring 32 renowned artists who all rallied together to give back to Bali in its time of need. The event was attended by thousands and managed to raise over $18,000 for initiating this extraordinary project. These funds were channelled into supporting the Kebun Berdaya Urban Gardens Initiative, a collaborative effort between Kopernik and PT Alam Santi. Kebun Berdaya started as an innovative response to the COVID-19 crisis in Bali, which due to Bali’s almost complete dependency on tourism for local livelihoods, had severe repercussions on food security across Bali. This challenge was extremely poignant in the inner city area of Banjar Tegeh Sari, where these gardens were established, as many of the local residents did not have homes they could turn to for support in these challenging times. Kebun Berdaya’s story is a testament to how a community can transform adversity into an opportunity for growth and empowerment. Through urban farming and educational initiatives, Kebun Berdaya has become a beacon of hope during challenging times, offering sustainable solutions to Bali’s food security challenges. As Kebun Berdaya continues to flourish, ecogames.net products hope to continue playing a role. Our engaging and interactive educational games provide a fun and effective way to instil environmental awareness in children, making learning an exciting adventure. By fostering a deeper connection with the environment and its importance, ecogames.net products contribute to building a generation of eco-conscious individuals who will continue to protect and preserve Bali’s natural beauty for generations to come. #ClassroomEnvironmentGames #SchoolsEnvironmentalEducation #TeachEcoSolutions #EcoFriendlyOutdoorGames #EcoConsciousKidsGames #EnvironmentalEducationActivities #FunEcoFriendlyGames #FunEcoFriendlyActivities #HandmadeInBali #HandcraftedInBali #StorytellingGames #StrategyForChangeGames #GiantGamesforGroups #GamesAboutOceanConservation #PlasticPollutionAwareness #OceanCleanUp #FindMeInTheGardenGames #PermaculturePlay #SDGsforChangeEducation #SmallIslandsBigImpact #TeachingPlanetaryBoundaries #CommunityResilienceGames #RainforestLearning

Getting Kids Off Their Devices: Shaping the Future of Our World
For many children, devices like tablets and smartphones have become the primary source of entertainment, education, and social interaction. While technology has undoubtedly brought numerous benefits, increased use of these devices is raising significant concerns. So how can we reduce screen time for children, and help them focus on rekindling collaborative learning, human interaction, and communication, for shaping their future. According to a report by the National Institute of Health, children who spend more than two hours a day on screens scored lower on thinking and language tests. With the average child spending around seven hours daily on electronic devices, we are witnessing a generation at risk. From deteriorating eye health to disrupted sleep patterns and increased rates of obesity, the physical repercussions are alarming. But beyond the tangible, there are hidden costs. Children are losing essential life skills including collaboration, problem-solving, and effective communication. A study by the American Academy of Pediatrics found that the overuse of digital devices hampers a child’s ability to understand non-verbal cues, a cornerstone of human interaction. While devices offer a vast repository of information, they are simultaneously undermining traditional holistic learning. Instead of fostering critical thinking and creativity, screens often promote passive consumption. The result? A decline in comprehensive learning and the ability to synthesize knowledge. Before the digital surge, games were primarily social and interactive. Board games, outdoor sports, and group activities fostered teamwork, strategy, and mutual respect. Collaborative games teach children to consider multiple perspectives, communicate solutions, handle conflicts, and work towards a common goal. These are foundational skills, essential not just in childhood but throughout life. Human civilizations have thrived on stories. They shape our worldviews, morals, and understanding of the world. Storytelling, especially in interactive settings, enhances listening skills, broadens horizons, and stimulates imagination. Encouraging children to share stories and communicate without the crutch of devices is crucial for their cognitive and emotional growth. The rising tide of environmental issues, from global warming to wildlife extinction, deeply affects children’s mental health. Eco-anxiety, a term now recognized by psychologists, describes the chronic fear of environmental doom. By engaging children in addressing these concerns, and showing how we care, we can bring these challenging topics to light. This has multiple benefits, it allows us to contribute time to better understanding the issues while socialising solutions, and it can also help safeguard children’s mental well-being. Children are not just passive recipients; they are agents of change. By empowering them with knowledge and tools, we can inspire them to take proactive steps towards environmental conservation. Schools and parents play pivotal roles in molding eco-conscious citizens. EcoGames offers a suite of products designed to address the myriad issues highlighted above. These games seamlessly blend offline learning with socially interactive, engaging fun that emphasizes collaborative gameplay, storytelling, and environmental awareness. EcoGames products can have a profound impact: EcoGames products are truly practical and user-friendly. They come with comprehensive guides, making them easy to integrate into educational curricula. For families, these games provide quality bonding time, away from the distractions of electronic devices. So while the digital world is here to stay, moderation is key. By reducing screen time and promoting collaborative learning and environmental awareness, we can ensure holistic development for our children. EcoGames can help bridge the gap, offering engaging and educational alternatives. Our children are not just the future, they deserve a better world in the present that is full of experiences and answers. #ClassroomEnvironmentGames #SchoolsEnvironmentalEducation #TeachEcoSolutions #EcoFriendlyOutdoorGames #EcoConsciousKidsGames #EnvironmentalEducationActivities #FunEcoFriendlyGames #FunEcoFriendlyActivities #HandmadeInBali #HandcraftedInBali #StorytellingGames #StrategyForChangeGames #GiantGamesforGroups #GamesAboutOceanConservation #PlasticPollutionAwareness #OceanCleanUp #FindMeInTheGardenGames #PermaculturePlay #SDGsforChangeEducation #SmallIslandsBigImpact #TeachingPlanetaryBoundaries #CommunityResilienceGames #RainforestLearning
