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...).

The program is divided into 3 types of activities:

Multimedia exchanges take place on a dedicated platform (e.g. United Schools), which allows users to publish different content (videos, photos, presentations, etc.) and react to other publications (comments, likes, shares). Themes are targeted for each session: first a presentation session, then one on the effects of climate change, and a third on the solutions implemented in their environments to cope with climate change.
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.

Students are active and «learn by doing»:

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.

Exchanges are in English
The schedule is drawn up in consultation with the schools and teachers concerned. The number of sessions can be adjusted.
In this «Learning by doing» approach, teachers are encouraged to prepare their classes by organizing workshops/discussions, and can draw on the resources available on the following platforms:
