At Naughton’s Green Future (NGF), we believe education should inspire young minds, connect cultures, and create lasting change. That’s why we’re launching the NGF - Education Global Program, an exciting and accessible initiative designed to bring sustainable farming, creative storytelling, and real-world impact into schools around the world.

What we offer: The first 4 weeks

Our journey with each school begins with a 4-week immersive education program that blends hands-on learning with creative expression:

• Weekly Book Club Sessions (2 Hours Per Week)

• Students dive into the world of storytelling, crafting four short stories that explore their own culture’s fairy tales, mythology, and powerful lessons for the future.

• They learn creative writing, illustration, and the magic of storytelling, turning their ideas into books that will inspire children across the world.

• Building a Small Aquaponics System

• During these four weeks, students construct their own small-scale aquaponics system, learning firsthand about sustainable farming, food production, and ecosystem balance.

• This mini-system will remain with the school, giving students a living laboratory to grow food and learn about environmental responsibility.

Beyond the first month: A long-term future with NGF

After the initial program, schools have the opportunity to expand their impact by joining NGF’s long-term aquaponics program. This program includes:

• A Full-Scale Aquaponics System

• Designed, installed, and maintained in partnership with the school.

• Large enough to feed the entire student body and staff.

• Built to be energy-efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective.

• Employment & Training for the Local Community

• NGF will train and employ a local teacher to oversee the system and integrate sustainable farming into the school’s curriculum.

• We’ll also provide local maintenance teams with full training, creating new job opportunities and long-term support for the project.

• Global Book Publishing & Cultural Exchange

• Each school’s book club stories will be published and sold worldwide, with all profits returning to fund that school’s educational initiatives.

• Students from different countries will get to read each other’s books, creating a global classroom where children learn about different cultures through the voices of their peers.
