Celebrate World Oceans Day with us and join the movement for sustainable oceans! On this day, we are reminded of the vital role that oceans play in our lives as the lungs of our planet and a source of food, medicine, and biodiversity. The United Nations is hosting a panel of 30 speakers, representing various perspectives, to discuss how we can prioritize the ocean and work towards its sustainable management. You can listen to this enlightening discussion through this link. Additionally, we are organizing a symbolic adoption of a sea animal through the WWF, where each donation contributes to their protection, habitat restoration, and the creation of a harmonious coexistence between wildlife and people. Vote for your chosen animal by accessing this link, and be prepared to show your commitment: we collect donations during lunch. Thank you for your attention, and let’s make World Oceans Day a meaningful and impactful event!
🙏 In partnership with Fondazione Città di Roncade, our school is most pleased to celebrate the volunteering opportunity hosted by H-IS: a Digital storytelling workshop delivered by our DP 1 students to public primary school students in Roncade as part of their CAS program. The program rolled out every Wednesday throughout the month of May, 4 meetings which culminated with the production of a comic book and an animation movie – poster of the workshop here. This workshop aimed at building bridges with the local community in Roncade, enhancing digital literacy, building creative and critical thinking skills, fostering empathy and understanding and providing a sense of purpose and agency. A big thank you to our 4 student volunteers! The initiative was featured in the local press here and here. Please watch the video of the sessions here.
