Partner Schools
Your school has been partnered in a cluster with several other schools in different countries.
If you haven’t already you will shortly receive the names of your partner schools and contact
details for each school’s lead teacher.
What do I Need to Share with My Partner Schools?
Everything detailed below must be shared with your partner school before the virtual events
in order for you / your partner schools to fully participate in the ECO2 Smart Schools Climate
Change Conferences.
In lesson 8 (Sharing Our Learning) the young people will:
Create a display / presentation which will detail their knowledge and experience of
climate change.
Produce a creative piece of art that captures their thoughts and feelings about climate
change.
Be encouraged to enter images into the ECO2 Smart Schools, Climate Conference
photography competition.
Think about their / your school’s climate change actions and intentions and place these
into an article.
All of these things will be shared with your partner schools and vice versa.
In lesson 9 (Pledging Action) the young people will explore their partner schools’ responses
to lesson 8 and take inspiration from these to think about the actions that they will take as
individuals / as a school to combat climate change. The young people will be encouraged to
place these actions upon the ECO2 Smart Schools website as shared pledges.
As we would hate for the young people to finish the ECO2 Smart Schools, Climate Change
programme and still have unresolved questions, lesson 9 also provides the pupils with the
opportunity to post questions to the experts depicted in the films, to be answered during the
virtual events.
All of the work completed in lesson 8 and lesson 9 should also be emailed to
info@oasesnortheast.org.uk so that we can post the young people’s work on the ECO2
Smart Schools website and share their thoughts, ideas and pledges during the ECO2 Smart
Schools Climate Change Conferences. It would also be useful to have a whole class photo for
the virtual event (with associated permissions).
If you have any questions throughout the project please do not hesitate to contact
OASES.
