INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN UNEP-DHI ECO CHALLENGE AUSTRALIA 2016

Hello Teachers,


I'd just like take a quick moment of your time to tell you that Curtin University is proud to announce that it is once again the Australian organiser for participation in the UNEP-DHI Eco Challenge.

We'd love to welcome you and your students to Eco Challenge for 2016. You can get a sneak peak of the new website here<http://ecochallengeaustralia.com.au/> where you can register your interest, download the new Facilitator's Guide and connect with a range of other resources.

Previous winning teams:

REVISED GAME PLAY

UNEP-DHI Eco Challenge provides an exciting and authentic learning experience for students in Years 7-12 through the online strategic game, Aqua Republica, to explore issues and solutions relating to water management and sustainable development.  The age limits are not strict - capable upper primary students are also welcome.

The new mission-based approach to Eco Challenge incorporates a more sustained engagement with the principles of water usage across industrial, urban and agricultural systems and the impact upon ecosystems.  Climate change is also a major consideration.

TEACHER PROFESSIONAL LEARNING

We are also offering online Teacher Professional Development<https://www.coursesites.com/s/_ECOCHAL-TEACH> that is badged and certified.  Just a one hour commitment when it suits you.

Yours sincerely,

Kim Flintoff
