Background information
Cambodia is grappling with profound challenges as climate change increases temperatures, and unpredictable weather patterns profoundly affect daily life and the educational sector. The Climate Change-Resistant Schools Project has been conceived as a proactive measure to create a sustainable and resilient educational environment to withstand these environmental adversities. This project is built on three key pillars: enhancing infrastructure, providing STEM education and teacher training, and fostering community involvement. Integrated within a broader Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) framework, the initiative aims to tackle climate change locally and globally through a holistic, education-centric approach.
During this session, speakers Son Nat and Mark Desmaele from TDSO, explored opportunities for partners to collaborate on this topic. They dove into the details, explored whether it is also applicable in other regions and how cooperations can be established.
