‘Do Londoners care about the environment their children will inherit?’
On the 30th June at 2.00pm the London Grid for Learning will launch the ‘Low Carbon London Project’ at the headquarters of The Royal Geographical Society.
‘Low Carbon London’ is a unique on-line resource which focuses on the issues surrounding carbon emission targets and what it will take for the Nation’s capital to meet future targets.
The project has been developed by LGfL in collaboration with the Greater London Authority and features a range of media including unique video interviews with key personnel involved in Climate Change Mitigation in London. The resource also features support for stakeholder role play in class and leads towards students completing a decision making exercise at the end of the project.
Support for Behaviour for Learning (SEAL), Personal Learning and Thinking Skills (PLTS) and Common Teaching Strategies (CTS) are built into all the lesson plans. This is designed to support all teachers in delivering these materials regardless of their teaching context.
The launch event will feature contributions from Senior Climate Change Mitigation Policy Officers at the Greater London Authority, project creators as well as students and teachers from pilot schools.
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet those involved in the project creation and witness a live debate on the issues - between London students taking stakeholder roles.
Although aimed primarily at those concerned with Key Stage 3 Geography, teachers of Science and Citizenship will also find the resource and the event useful and relevant.
This valuable, though free, event is open to all London Teachers and LA colleagues. Light refreshments will be served from 1.45pm.
The event will also be broadcast live from the Royal Geographical Society by Russell Prue of Anderton Tiger Radio.
