This year one of our 9th grade classes will take part in a Nordplus Junior Project together with a 9th grade in Tampere, Finland. The title of the project is “Global Climate Meeting between Denmark and Finland”. Below you can read the “Project summary”, and you can find more information about the project on this website.

In our project; “Global Climate Meeting“ between Denmark and Finland, the students will have to study the problems of global climate, how it affect their lives here and now, and how it will affect their lives in the future.

The students will learn how the global climate conferences (COP) work, where politicians from all over the world take part each year to solve global problems. We will also discuss and work with clobal climate politics from both Denmark and Finland.

During this work our students will try to produce a global climate statement (GCS) representing the ideas from Danish and Finnish students on the question;

“The Global Climate – what can WE do?”.

This statement will be produced to be published in different ways and in different medias; articles for youth magazines, newspapers and websites. Videoproductions will be released on Skals Efterskoles public Facebook and Youtube sites. The students will take pictures and publish them on both Facebook and Flickr. The offical global climate statement will also be sent to the Ministers for the Environment in both Denmark and Finland.

By working with these many different medias the students will learn to be active citizens and show many ways of using democracy and the freedom of speech in the 21st century.
