Full Session Description (one paragraph minimum):

We are the senior class of 2013 Colegio Panamericano, a bilingual school in Bucaramanga, Colombia-South America. We are staring a campaign in our Global Issues class to make our school plastic –free. When we are successful, we will be the second Plastic-free school in South America. We are learning to educate ourselves about this issue through examining science, economics, politics, advertising and the basics of activism. We intend to inspire, inform and  build cooperative networks around the globe. We can offer support as you embrace this initiative and together build an international collaborative relationship working towards a common goal for a plastic –free world! “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi
