Project Summary

Our project is about water management and climate change. If we let nature take its course, by the end of this century the earth will to be 2 to 5 degrees Celsius warmer than it is today, which in its turn will have a huge impact on the sea level and the places people live.
Our most important objectives are raising awareness among our students about the challenges posed by climate change in the next few decades and teaching them the necessary skills to fully comprehend the issues and to think in terms of solutions.

Within the scope of the project, Dutch and French students of secondary schools (in the Netherlands: tto), aged 13/14 years, work closely together to get an idea of what climate change actually entails for their respective countries and the significance of water management.
The students will go on trips to Amsterdam (city on wooden poles), to the mills at Kinderdijk, to the dunes and beaches in both countries and to Mont Saint Michel (tidal island). With this information they will do assignments and make a portfolio, resulting into a common end product: a presentation. This end product will be shared within the school (curriculum of other forms, profile papers) and outside the school (website, Facebook page school, vlog, school partnership). The information gathered within this project allows these students to have a better understanding of the problems concerning climate change, an inevitable issue for our teenagers’ future.
