You have a fundamental role: you deal professionally with the growth of children, with the transmission of humanity’s knowledge. You develop in them a fundamental life tool, a critical sense. Knowledge makes us free: it frees us from prejudice and makes us free to act with awareness. S.A.M.E. WORLD – Sustainability Awareness Mobilization Environment in the global education for the European Year of Development 2015 - is an European project directed to schools, intending to convey knowledge and information oriented to acquire more competences and critical under- standing of climate change, environmental justice and environmental migration. It aims at pro- moting practices of active citizenship in a global vision. As a whole it is a learning project, involving teachers and students in mobilization activities in favor of sustainable lifestyles. This kit will help you to talk about these topics in the classroom. You will find content created by experts from different disciplines (geography, anthropology, sociology, agronomy, economics, ecology...) and activities such as role-playing games, mathematical exercises, art workshops to be implemented together with your students. The content and activities are divided into three interconnected macro-areas: ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE 4 Units and 16 class activities CLIMATE CHANGE 4 Units and 13 class activities ENVIRONMENTAL MIGRATION 4 Units and 12 class activities You will also have access to: • A selection of links to further information online (videos, reports ...); • Some free online tools to create diagrams, maps and reports; • Different sections to deepen your knowledge (bibliography, glossary, etc.). 5 SAME World Edu-kit Why do we talk about environmental migration? The theme of environmental refugees is new, and influence various dimensions of our system: the social, environmental, economic, and political dimensions, to name a few. It is a complex puzzle and requires a careful approach to all the pieces that compose it. Does it affect us? Yes, it is an ongoing phenomenon that it is estimated to involve more than 250 million people, because “we are living in the Same Word”, and as for the beating of a butterfly, what happens, even far away, has an impact on us. Are we ready to meet this challenge? This kit will be used to talk about ourselves: our adaptability, our resilience; What do we mean by identity, and the future that awaits us. What it means to be citizens of the world and what we mean by global citizenship. The land adapts to climate change, the economy changes, and migrants field very complex survival skills. We must be protagonists and active agents of change. Use this content as a starting point for your work in the classroom and re- elaborate them in ab- solute freedom. Go to the methodology section for more information on the structure and peda- gogical focus of the kit. Share tips, suggestions and new ideas to improve the kit: the exchange and dialogue are the basis of knowledge processes. Good work!

La primera (0) ya está hecha y sirve como modelo. La voz quechua 23 de julio de 2018 Luzmila Carpio (Qala Qala, 1949) no olvida el día en que cantó por primera vez. Tenía 11 años y era domingo. Ese día, dejaba su Qala Qala natal, una comunidad quechua del altiplano boliviano, por la ciudad de Oruro para participar en un programa de radio que cada semana abría su micro a niños intérpretes. Carpio ignoraba por completo cómo habían conseguido “hacer entrar cantantes en ese pequeño aparato”. Tampoco hablaba castellano. Empezó a entonar las primeras notas cuando un pianista le dio la tonalidad. Duró poco. “¡Esto lo cantan los indios! ¡Vuelve cuando sepas cantar en castellano!”, le gritó el hombre. Carpio abandonó el estudio bañada en lágrimas, pero decidida a volver a intentarlo el domingo siguiente. El pianista ignoraba que acababa de gritar a una niña que se convertiría en una de las figuras más destacadas de la música boliviana sin cantar en español, sino en el idioma de sus ancestros: el quechua. “Los indígenas siempre hemos sido marginados por nuestras lenguas, por nuestra manera de pensar, nuestra espiritualidad y más que todo por pertenecer a una cultura distinta”, explica Carpio sentada en el sofá de su apartamento parisino del barrio de Aligre, situado en el distrito 12 de la capital francesa.

US forces in the region are “ready to go”, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said, as Washington and its European and Middle Eastern partners honed plans to punish Assad for a major poison gas attack last week that killed hundreds of civilians. Several sources who attended a meeting in Istanbul on Monday between Syrian opposition leaders and diplomats from Washington and other governments said that the rebels were told to expect military action and to get ready to negotiate a peace. “The opposition was told in clear terms that action to deter further use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime could come as early as in the next few days, and that they should still prepare for peace talks at Geneva,” one of the sources said. Ahmad Jarba, president of the Syrian National Coalition, met envoys from 11 states in the Friends of Syria group, including Robert Ford, the US ambassador to Syria, at an Istanbul hotel. United Nations chemical weapons investigators, who finally crossed the frontline to take samples on Monday, put off a second trip to rebel-held suburbs of Damascus.
