Beskrivning
The main idea of the With Children Against Drought methodology is to return water to the landscape, especially through the revitalisation of streams, floodplains and wetlands. The activities in the methodology guide span all areas of education, develop many key competencies and lead the pupils towards active citizenship. The target group of this methodology are first-grade primary school pupils, i.e. children from approximately 6 to 11 years of age.
The guide is divided into six chapters. In each chapter, you will find a brief description of the activity, a well-arranged list of activities, their goal, description and space for reflection. Supporting activities are highlighted in colour. There are print-ready attachments below each activity. The work sheets can be found at the end of the methodology. Individual thematic chapters are distinguished by colour.
The chapter Climate Change focuses on understanding climate change and the underlying context. The chapters Water and Me, Forest, Soil, and Water in the Landscape are aimed at exploring the individual areas described by their titles. The chapter Landscape and I guides us as we try to understand the landscape around us, learn how to orient in it, recognize what is right, which human actions disturb the balance in the landscape and what we can do about it.
It is recommended that activities be incorporated throughout the school year, preferably in the form of regular project days.
