Despite an abundance of green spaces locally, there is a growing disconnect between youths and Mother Nature. To enhance their attitudes towards nature and wildlife, it is critical to educate youths with knowledge that will pique their interest and appreciation for the environment. This objective was achieved by directly immersing youths amidst Nature with the implementation of experiential learning. Our group designed a birdwatching tour comprising of pre- and post-tour surveys, a digital e-book containing unique features of birds and plants, and a Kahoot quiz. After the tour, Instagram and YouTube were utilised to sustain participants’ interest. Data analysis of our survey results have shown a general improvement in comfort, attitudes and knowledge level for the participants post-tour. Therefore, by conducting a guided tour which placed emphasis on experiential learning and through supplementation with social media platforms, our project achieved success in increasing participants’ interest for nature and wildlife.
