Project Activities
Idea activity
Map and Compare Green Spaces in Our City
Students map the green spaces in their neighborhood and compare access and quality with the partner city, then present their findings as slides about how these spaces affect health, climate, and equality.
Climate Workshop: Green Spaces and Heat in Our City
Students attend a school workshop on climate, then use what they learn to examine how green spaces affect local temperatures and health. They write a short case study linking the workshop findings to their own neighborhood.
Live Debate with Our Partner Class on Climate Change and Cities
Students join a live video meeting with the partner country's class to debate how cities can respond to climate change, using the green space data they collected. Each side presents its evidence and responds to the other's arguments.
Based on the idea Greener Cities, Better Lives
