FoEM’s Food, Agriculture & Biodiversity team has been busy getting students moving while reflecting on their own natural environment. As part of a European project “Get Active – Bound Around” three interactive and educational online games were created to focus on different environmental realities both locally and around the world. These are readily available on the ActionBound app.
As this project comes to its completion we are inviting teachers & educators to join one of our training sessions to learn more about the Games, Booklet & Teachers’ resources all of which will be free and easily accessible online.
Earthbound Hideout is suggested for Years 7-8 and proposes a journey using our senses to feel a sense of place while rewilding urban areas in a local context. It is to be played outdoors.
Tomato rescue squad is a trip around the world, one seed at a time. In a larger context it deals with food Sovereignty and food waste and is suggested for Years 6-9.
Climate Justice Escape Game is aimed for Sixth Form students/youths as a digital Escape Game which gets the team to work together on climate justice issues with an introduction to Doughnut Economics. It can be played anywhere.
The presentations are planned as follows and registration will be required. They will both be held at the Digital Literacy Centre, Ħamrun so that teachers can choose the time which suits them best (only one session is to be attended).
- Monday 27th March 2023: 12.30—2.30 pm
- Tuesday 28th March 2023: 3.30—5.30 pm
