Target Audience(s):All teachers and students (9-12 or upper middle school)

Short Session Description (one line): Discussing Climate Change (figuratively and metaphorically) all day

Full Session Description (as long as you would like):

Chatham Hall, an all-girls boarding school in Virginia, will facilitate a discussion, live on the internet, with any middle or highschool of any gender balance that wants to participate.

Several of Chatham Hall classes will be on line for an entire school day, November 15th from 8:30-3:30 EST, (with a break from lunch from 12:20-1:00)

This will be a student led conversation. The format will be conversational rather than ‘report-based’. The core topic will be 'Climate Change', but that can include any perspective on those words. The changing climate of the world (temperature, religion, gender, war, etc), the changing climate of our schools, the influx of technology, popular media, news etc. All will be considered on point and on topic.  

We invite you to join us, whenever you can and for however long you’d like! Our hope is to make this a monthly (or more) gathering, to facilitate relationship building and intercultural understanding.

The overall purpose of these sessions is to give our students global insight into the workings and thoughts of those in other areas of the world. What do we think about and why? How does our place on the planet effect our thought process? Why do we fear that which is different?
