So, thank you very much for taking part in Prix Eiffel 2023 as well and we highly recognize and commemorate your outstanding progress shown which was reflected by your Platinum Award (given to only the highest assessed participants of the entire competition).
During our evaluation at Prix Eiffel 2023, we were mesmerized by watching your introductory video. Your director is truly creative and freshly produced the video firstly for the jury’s friendly first impression. And the contents obviously was unique and one-of-a-kind project that can only be done by JSGM. So from here, you achieved a lot of marks for the originality. JSGM practices a great cause for educating deep-down wisdom derived through a long period of time and experience by the previous generation and above, to the children of today. That holds a huge power culturally and it follows an idealistic socio-economic principles.
And this wisdom channeling tradition will continue to go on for the next generation after generation. Thus, the decision was not difficult to be made when selecting the award for JSGM wisdom and by the unanimous decision of the jury committee, and by the recommendation of TISIAS and proven award history from many iCAN editions in the last several years, you were selected for the Prix Eiffel Platinum Award + 3 International Special Awards of our partners.

“We are familiar with this group from Malaysia. They joined our Great Canadian Invention Show “ICAN” for the last several years. Once again, they have certainly proved their high ability to invent, to innovate the “JUNGLE SCHOOL MENTORING FOR SUSTAINABLE EMPOWERMENT” project they presented for this year’s iCAN. This mentoring program protects the long heritage, culture and history of mankind’s way of survival using the most effective and educable methods. It is an effective tool that can be used for connecting different generations of people. Jungle School Gombak Malaysia is an already recognized and well-certified team during the past iCANs in 2020 and 2021. We can’t wait to see what our jurors will decide upon their high achievements to be made in the Finals. We sincerely want the jungle school to further expand their landscapes and make this knowledge- sharing and empowerment program modules to all necessary marketplaces.”

And once again this year, they have presented an excellent project by the name of [JUNGLE SCHOOL SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY BASED TOURISM AND OUTREACH INNOVATION ENHANCEMENTS] in which we truly love watching their video presentation as well because it was quite highly prepared very professionally. Their participation in iCAN 2020 was crucial and still is on the rock for this year’s iCAN 2021. Their presentation was truly remarkable and made all of us at iCAN committee to someday visit this great place on earth in the Jungle School Gombak Malaysia. We also searched for their website and saw many great features and natural beauty that’s surrounding them.
