A series of interactive and lively Glow meets

In November this year, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change launched a report warning that climate change is likely to lead to more extreme weather. Within weeks of this launch, Scotland was battered by severe flooding and hurricane-force winds which brought much of the country to a standstill. Is our climate already changing? What will climate change mean for Scotland? How can we respond positively and adapt to the changes ahead?

We’re inviting your school to join the great climate change debate. We’ll be bringing together a panel of scientists and experts to answer questions, spark debate and discussion and help learners navigate their way through climate fact, fiction and controversy.

• Glow meet 1: Our changing weather and climate (23^rd Jan ’12)
• Glow meet 2: Climate science - evidence versus controversy (30^th Jan ’12)
• Glow meet 3: Adapting to climate change (6^th Feb ’12)

Each Glow meet will take place from 2pm to 3:00pm. These events will be targeted at learners in secondary schools and upper primary.

Please see links below for further details about each event:

   Looks like a great trio of events.
   Slight prob that S5/6 prelims are around that time, so Higher Geography class may not be so willing/able to attend, but other years should be OK.

   Thanks for this. Glad at least some of your pupils will be able to join in. The first one went really well so am sure Glow meet 2 on Mon 30th will be equally stimulating and interactive. Don’t forget that the events are recorded so you can watch again here: http://glo.li/zP9Bve
