Jan Johansson, jan.johansson(AT)gbgsd.se, Projektledare, Globala gymnasiet i Göteborg, Burgårdens UBC, Sverige:

Den 11 november arrangerade Globala gymnasiet i Göteborg en Nordisk klimatdag. Aktiviteterna var många. Om aktuella klimatfrågor föreläste experter från Chalmers och Nordens Ark. Besökarna fick se en stor utställning om klimatfrågor. Denna utgjorde en av slutpunkterna i ett stort projekt om klimathotet som en av klasserna på Globala gymnasiet arbetat med. Ekologiskt café och Second hand, klädesswopping och på skolbiblioteket fick man en bok i gåva. På elevrestaurangen serverades vegetarisk mat. Mycket liv och rörelse och många spännande samtal.

Många av de tiotal utbildningsprogrammen på Burgårdens utbildningscentrum deltog och intresset var stort. Göteborgs lokalradio gjorde reportage och samtliga var eniga om att försöka ordna en ny klimatdag rätt snart.

So yesterday - November 11th 2009 - was the big day - Nordic Climate Day! Schools in all Nordic countries participated in the exciting text message quiz. The quiz included 15 questions about climate change basics and we are eager to see the results.

As I am writing this blog solutions for the climate mission are also ticking in on the Nordic climate map. Until now groups of pupils have published more than 250 contributions on the map.

Click here to watch all the funny videos, PowerPoints and essays on climate change consequences, solutions and see what the future will be like according to the pupils.

On Nordic Climate day The Danish Minister of Education, Bertel Haarder, visited Johannesskolens Gymnasie, a high school in Frederiksberg near Copenhagen. Here the students explained Bertel Haarder about hydrogen fueled cars and solar power while a teacher explained how they cooperated with a school in Iceland under the Nordplus funding scheme exchanging knowledge on power supply and energy forms.

In the the video below Bertel Haarder and the students from Johannesskolens Gymnasie are focused on choosing the correct answers for the 15 questions in the Nordic Climate Day text message quiz.

Ea Eskildsen and Mikkel Bohm from The Danish Science Communication explains how the mobile phone on this day is a learning tool and they show how to activate the quiz with the mobile phone.

 

Turning the world upside down the students on Johannesskolens Gymnasie (high school) also reached for their mobile phones to participate in the quiz.

Normally they are not allowed to switch on their mobile phones in class but Nordic Climate Day really was an exception.
