From disaster to opportunity: bringing the El Niño phenomenon to the classroom
Based on materials generated by Peruvian and British teachers alongside researchers from the University of St Andrews, the resource explains how their community has historically managed the flooding hazards associated with a major El Niño event.
Tuesday 30 June
5.00pm-6.00pm
A free online webinar presented by the Royal Geographical Society.
As a potentially severe El Niño Costero is currently gathering force in Peru, you are invited to participate in a briefing workshop about the ‘El Niño: a phenomenon of opportunities’ teaching resource.
Based on materials generated by Peruvian and British teachers alongside researchers from the University of St Andrews, the resource explains how their community has historically managed the flooding hazards associated with a major El Niño event.
Their videos, stories and images show how intense rains can bring both challenges and opportunities for local communities.
Led by the resource editors Dr Grace Healy and Professor Nina Laurie, this online session provides a chance for teachers to learn more about the resource and the research behind it.
The session will invite participants to explore beyond the dominant global disaster narratives in order to learn from desert communities in northern Peru about how they deal with crises in productive ways that reflect a hopeful geography of resilience and climate-event adaptation.
