MYP2 and MYP3 students took part in an online City Climate Challenge. It's called the Klimaatgame. Basically they had to build a city - while bearing in mind the need for housing, libraries, schools, green areas and trees etc. This was facilitated by the inventor of the game Lee Vlijter with support from Gemeente Breda. The students did this as part of a unit they were studying in Geography with Mr Caldwell.

City Climate Change
- Welke tips wil je andere Eco-teams geven bij het organiseren van een activiteit/evenement?: We have found the Gemeente Breda to be very helpful in supporting us in our sustainability learning. They have many resources and programmes available. I would advise every Eco Team to reach out to their local municipality and see what the possibilities are.
- Onderwijstype: Voortgezet onderwijs
- Waarom zijn jullie hier trots op?: We were proud of the genuine interest our students showed in this challenge, recognising the need for action and embracing the opportunity to try their hand at sustainable city planning. There were certain parameters that they had to work within - for example there needed to be a minimum of green areas depending on how many houses / people lived in the area. They had to think about heat stress and how to overcome challenges with water in the area.
