Additional activity:

Reflect on the impacts of climate change on your personal experience, search for a headline related to its impact on your local area. If you cannot find such an article, have you been directly affected?  Send a screenshot/link of your article headline (or even social media post etc) or an image of this impact to Kelly (ksambucci5@rvc.ac.uk) who will collate these to share at our next meeting. 



Step for the final works:

Collection and systematisation of the materials by the working groups for the elaboration of the final works. Also this task is the responsibility of each group in autonomy.
