🐓 Nurture by nature: Engaging the next generation with the natural world

Jasbinder Bilan, Sachi Ediriweera, Nizrana Farook & Irushi Tennekoon 

 Children are fundamental to our planet’s future. Yanik Tissera, co-founder of Parrotfish Collective, leads a lively discussion around how parents and educators can encourage the next generation to be curious about the natural world. He is joined by Nizrana Farook and Jasbinder Bilan, whose children’s stories are set in richly imagined environments, Sachi Ediriweera, who connects with readers of all ages through his graphic novels, and Irushi Tennekoon, whose short films entertain and educate in equal measure.

About your host…

The Charleston is a striking Art Deco property on Lighthouse Street in Galle Fort. Once a merchant’s home and now a nine-bedroom boutique hotel with a hip bar, it’s a top spot for design aficionados. Pick a perch at Charlie’s Bar for a coffee or refreshing homemade craft soda after our panel discussion.
