TVE Asia Pacific (TVEAP) recently released its latest Asian regional television series, Saving the Planet, an Asian regional media project to discover and share innovative efforts in education for sustainable development (ESD) in developing countries of Asia.

Laos: It's Alive! is one of a six-episode series which features outstanding efforts in ESD in South and Southeast Asia:

'Fun' isn't part of the curriculum in many Asian countries. School usually means rote learning and passing exams. In Laos, the Participatory Development Training Centre is trying to change this by introducing play-and-learn activities in schools. Working with youth and children volunteers, they are ushering in slow but decisive change in how teachers relate to students. The results are transforming everyone involved.
