In an increasingly digitized and globalized world, the disconnection between young people and the natural world has never been more profound. JungleWalla’s Student Programs, designed by senior naturalists Irshad Mobarak and Sri Sari, aim to bridge this gap. Using the Langkawi UNESCO Global Geopark as a living classroom, we provide immersive, field-based learning experiences that foster leadership, scientific curiosity, and civic responsibility.
CORE EDUCATIONAL PILLARS
Our programs are structured into three specialized modules, adaptable to school curricula and varying durations (from 4 to 16 days).
- 1. Service Learning & Community Partnership
Inspired by the Malay tradition of Gotong-royong, students engage directly with local village communities. This module integrates meaningful community service with academic instruction and reflection. Students brainstorm, plan, and implement solutions for local issues, gaining essential skills in communication, decision-making, and civic participation. - 2. Nature Studies & Conservation Science
We instill a spirit of scientific exploration modeled after the great naturalists like Alfred Russel Wallace. Students take a hands-on approach to biodiversity, learning field survey techniques, environmental data collection, and experimental design. The data gathered contributes directly to regional conservation efforts. - 3. Leadership & Team Building
Using purpose-built, traditionally designed Malay outrigger crafts, students master the basics of sailing and paddling. This module maximizes physical and mental capabilities, requiring absolute teamwork and unity to navigate the archipelago’s waters. It builds individual confidence and a practical understanding of collective goals.
