Pupils at Kingsmead Primary in Hackney recently engaged in a cultural exchange with Kampala's New Brain School through their Hackney Buzzline project. The initiative involved making insect face masks and gifts from banana fibers, fostering a fresh interest in pollinators like bees. The project aims to increase biodiversity through green infrastructure represented by 'buzzlines'. Both schools, despite being 4,000 miles apart, are united in their commitment to protect the environment and educate children on the importance of pollinators, thanks to leaders like Gerry Tissier and Hannington Sserwanga who advocated for this collaboration.
The children have benefited so much already to be part of the Hackney Buzzline, learning about the role that pollinating insects play. It harnesses enthusiasm that children share on different sides of the globe for helping pollinating insects and protecting the environment.
The two schools may be separated by 4,000 miles but are united in their commitment to protect the natural world. Children on the Hackney and Kampala buzzlines are learning to love and look after bees, butterflies and other pollinators in their neighbourhoods.
