Inquiries / Facing Up to Climate Change / Schools' Competition
 
Looking for ideas to help in the delivery of Curriculum for Excellence in your school?
Pupils in Primary and in Secondary schools have been invited to enhance their experience of sustainable development, global citizenship and international understanding through a study of how Climate Change will affect the lives of people in their own local areas.
This exciting, topical and relevant competition encouraged pupils to study how people would face up to both the opportunities offered and the challenges caused by Climate Change in Scotland.
They could also liaise with or research a Developing World country where the impact of Climate Change is already affecting peoples’ lives and livelihoods either for comparison or to identify their knock-on effects for the people of Scotland.
The research and presentation required for this competition allowed pupils to develop in all four capacities of The Curriculum for Excellence.
The competition supported by former weather forecaster, Heather Reid, was launched at a media event held at the Royal Society of Edinburgh on 8 February 2010.
