BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY
22 May is INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY. Halting biodiversity loss is a global priority, but action towards the preservation of biodiversity takes place at the local level. Teachers, students and community can work together to recognise this incredible responsibility and create paths of learning, understanding and action to preserve and protect the world’s biodiversity.
CULTURAL DIVERSITY FOR DIALOGUE AND DEVELOPMENT
Education about and through cultural diversity is TRANSFORMATIVE education. The OWC has a range of resources that can support the creation of teaching and learning environments and activities which promote cultural diversity for dialogue and development.
