On
the 26th November the 5C took part in the Euroscola meeting. Sadly
enough, this event only took place in an online conference, but it was still interesting
to see the EU politicians talk about climate change and the environment.
After
a short introduction to the European Union and its Parliament, students all
over Europe were able to follow the Vice-President of the European Parliament
and ask him questions concerning the topic.
In
the following innovation labs based on the topic of “Climate change and the
environment: how can we live in harmony with nature?” took place. Mr. Giacomo
Fassina, member of the Secretariat of the committee of the Environment, Public
Health and Food of the European Parliament expressed his and the EU’s opinion
on the topics
1.)
Using resources efficiently for a circular economy
2.)
Restoring biodiversity and cutting pollution
3.)
Creating a global coalition to halt and reverse global warming.
Finally,
European students were encouraged to formulate claims and present them via chat
or live video chat.
The
event was closed by remarks by the Director General for Communication and the
Spokesperson the European Parliament, Mr. Jaume Duch Guillot.
The
visit of the online Euroscola event was very interesting. It for sure would have
been better if we could have been in Strasbourg for real but we’re still glad
we had the chance to attend the event over an online conference.
Here are some impressions:
