PROJECT OBJECTIVES

This project aims to :

  • Raising young people’s awareness of climate change, both globally and locally
  • Develop their skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)
  • Introduce them to the scientific approach, data analysis and Earth observation.
  • Prepare them for the major environmental challenges of their generation

a 4-stage project
