The very first Climate Conference in Berlin was held last Nov 20 at the ZeissGross Planetarium. This conference was organised by the Ministry of Education with Education Minister Sandra Scheeres as one of the key speakers. Students aged 10-18 from all over Berlin came to participate in the different workshops and talks offered by numerous Environmental and Educational groups.
Five pupils from Years 5 and 6 represented the Nelson Mandela School. The Climate Conference focused on the current steps being made to help reduce negative effects that humans make on the environment. They learned the importance of buying seasonal products and even made slogans to use for the next Friday for Future rally! Senator Scheeres hopes to make this an annual event from now on.
