Bandung Newsletter April 2024 Issue 8

ISMILE BANDUNG PROJECT WORK EXHIBITION

Welcome to the April 2024 edition of our Bandung newsletter! We have lots of exciting updates and stories to share this month.​
ISMILE BANDUNG PROJECT WORK EXHIBITION

After weeks of dedicated learning and creative exploration, ISMILE Preschool Bandung proudly opened its doors to showcase the imaginative creations of its young learners’ project exhibits. The exhibit highlighted the diverse talents and efforts of children across different classes, each presenting their unique projects thriving in the boundless creativity of the hundred languages of children. Through their class project works, predominantly crafted from loose parts and recycled materials, these budding artists, engineers, and thinkers are demonstrating the richness of their understanding and expression.

With each project, they articulate not just what they’ve created, but the intricate web of knowledge, curiosity, and discovery woven into each creation. From sharing what they know to expressing their questions and reflecting on their learning, these children are embracing the full spectrum of their capabilities and the diverse languages through which they communicate their understanding of the world around them.

Nafas To Install Clean Air Zones in 7 iSmile Pre-School Campuses in Indonesia

As pollution in Jakarta and many other Indonesian cities continues to get worse, Nafas has been appointed as the air quality partner for iSmile Family of Schools in Indonesia and is tasked with bringing healthy air quality to 7 campuses in Permata Hijau, Menteng, Kelapa Gading, Pantai Indah Kapuk, P. Antasari (for Alam Atelier & BazGym) and Bandung. As part of the partnership, Nafas will be providing healthy air quality management, analytics & reporting as well as leading educational programs for parents across iSmile, iShine, Alam Atelier and BazGym  to continue to raise awareness about air pollution and public health.

Over 800 students attend iSmile Family of Schools, one of the top pre-schools in Jakarta, Bandung and Bali. The dedication of iSmile administration to providing the optimal learning environment for its students extends to ensuring that healthy indoor air quality levels are always maintained. 

For their schools that already have a Clean Air Zone, Nafas successfully reduced indoor air pollution by over 80% in classrooms at the Kelapa Gading campus in April 2024.  Unhealthy indoor air quality in schools provides a sub-optimal learning environment for children and long term exposure to PM2.5 reduces concentration, focus and can impair cognitive development. Nafas even published an article about this – The Smog Effect: How Air Quality Could Be Affecting Test Scores.

Clean Air Zones by Nafas are a subscription based B2B service which provides companies with air quality diagnostics, healthy air management, data analytics and real-time reporting of indoor pollution levels. The end to end service is the first of its kind in Indonesia, and already serves over 100 clients in offices, schools, small businesses and residential locations.
