334 students, from schools in 12 Algarve municipalities, participate in the Climate Change Olympics, an initiative included in the plan launched by AMAL – Algarve Intermunicipal Community.
The Olympics are a competition aimed at primary and secondary education students, who form groups of between two and five students, under the supervision of teachers, and take place in two distinct phases.
In the first phase, 334 students from different schools in the region, divided into 84 groups and accompanied by 27 teachers, answered a theoretical test in which their knowledge of the causes and consequences of climate change was assessed.
«The initiative is having a strong adhesion» and «all the groups went on to a second phase of the project, which will consist in the elaboration of a video of about two minutes on the subject», says AMAL.
"Students and teachers are thus motivated to explore the issue of global warming in a playful and educational way and, simultaneously, are made aware of the subject", he adds.
The Olympics are one of several activities included in the Intermunicipal Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change, through which AMAL intends to alert the entire community and prepare the Algarve for climate change in the south of the country.
