School Innovators workshop 1C

• Mens & Natuur
• Middelbare school
• havo, vwo
• Leerjaar 3-5

Ask the children what this means for them. How will their world look like when they are finished with school? 

Innovation

 A new idea, object, service and process or combination. this takes place within organisations but also in society. 

 Seabin (trashbin in the harbor)

Do you know any innovations from the last 5 years?

Students will probably mention different examples. If some are not real innovations, make a list of:

- which innovations are really renewing 

- which are improving a product 

Ask them if they see the difference. 

There are people who think that the current approach is too little. For example, such as the agreements made in Paris (because they cause 3.2 warming + 33% animal extinction). Because they are too informal and are not strict enough. For example, there is a Swedish climate activist, you might know her: Greta Thunberg. She is about the same age as you and speaks to world leaders in their way of governing (they make policy but not enough action is happening).

Now you have seen something about climate change

On which topic would you like to work next (three) workshops? 

For next class

• Choose a climate challenge that you would like to explore further 

For inspiration:

• Newspapers, social media and other websites
• A topic from one of your other school subjects 

What did you think, see, do, feel or hear today?
