An opportunity for next year...
Greetings colleagues. I thought I'd share with you an opportunity for Climate Change Collaboration for next year. For the past 2 years my students have been a part of an international youth collaboration on Climate Change organized by The Centre for Global Education (Alberta, Canada) and TakingITGlobal. CGE/TIGED have organized inquiry lessons and activites and have arranged for virtual classroom discussions and video conferencing with the groups.
The ultimate goal each year is to produce a youth voice 'White Paper' on Climate Change. Each school can send 2 students (at their own cost - no funding available) to the COY & COP conferences. The first is the annual youth conference on Climate Change. The other is the UN program. The students get an opportunity to present the 'White Paper' to representatives from the UN during the COP conference.
This year they have a full load of schools, and they want to provide opportunities for new collaborators each year. They are looking for schools around the world. If you like interactive, collaborative and real-world projects for your students, I think you should check them out.
Dear Barbara - what a wonderful opportunity for ISCFC teachers and students! Thank you for sharing this!
