Objectives
- Raise awareness and empathy among students in Luxembourg about the reality of the impact of climate change on their daily lives, and reinforce their determination to fight against climate change.
- Opening up to a different social, cultural and environmental reality, and mobilizing to combat the inequalities caused by climate change.
- Sharing values, respect and mutual understanding, through ethical and multi-faceted teaching (Code of Ethics, history, geography, life sciences, social studies, English...).
Program
Le programme se divise en 3 types d’activités :
- Les échanges multimédia sur une plateforme dédiée (ex : United Schools), qui permet de publier différents contenus (vidéos, photos, présentations etc…) et de réagir aux autres publications (commentaires, likes, partage). Les thématiques sont ciblées pour chacune des sessions : d’abord une session de présentation, puis une sur les effets du changement climatique, une troisième sur les solutions mises en places dans leurs environnements pour faire face aux changements climatiques.
- Interactive exchanges take place on the ZOOM platform for around 1 hour. Each class in Luxembourg is associated with a class in Bangladesh to consolidate links between students. Students can revisit content posted on the video platform, ask questions and debate certain topics according to the theme.
- Classroom workshops are organized on the initiative of teachers and students, to work together on project themes and produce multimedia content.

Methodological approaches
Les élèves sont actifs et « apprennent en faisant »:
- by researching data on their own environment and the impacts of observed climate change, looking for adaptation solutions and applying them.
- by interacting live with students in Bangladesh and discovering a different social, cultural and environmental reality.
- by realizing that the stakes are global and that our actions have an impact on other people in other countries => they learn to decentralize their thinking.
- by understanding that they can act, and discovering how to act individually and collectively. (hummingbird method, doing your part, together, response to eco-anxiety)
- by taking action to combat climate change and the inequalities it generates.
Remarks
- Exchanges are in English
- The schedule is drawn up in consultation with the schools and teachers concerned. The number of sessions can be adjusted.
- Dans cette approche « Learning by doing » les professeurs sont encouragés à préparer leurs classes en organisant des ateliers/discussions, et peuvent s’appuyer sur les ressources disponibles sur les plateformes suivantes :
