At the beginning of December, 2022, we finished our educational project <\/span>\u201cDel Aula a los Hielos: Glaciares Chilenos en tu escuela\u201d<\/i><\/b> [From the Classroom to the Ices: Chilean glaciers in your school] that looks for getting Chilean glaciers closer to children and teenagers didactically\u00a0to develop themself with nature responsibly and respectfully, by connecting them with the environment where they live at and strengthening the connection with the ecosystem where they inhabit at.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does the \u201c<\/b>Del Aula a los Hielos<\/i><\/b>\u201d project initiate?<\/b><\/p>\n

In August 2021, we were invited to participate in a teenager talent program called \u201c<\/span>Talentoso 2021<\/span><\/i>\u201d [Talented 2021], whose aim is to look for artistic talents by supporting different social causes through a project. The program\u2019s winner <\/span>Vittoria Velasco <\/span>and her Talent Manager <\/span>Rey Alcalde<\/span> allowed us to win a fund to execute the educational project \u201c<\/span>Del Aula a los Hielos<\/span><\/i>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fourth School: <\/b>Aldea Bosque<\/i><\/b> School from <\/b>Chonchi<\/i><\/b> commune, in <\/b>Chilo\u00e9<\/i><\/b> city, Los Lagos region.<\/b><\/p>\n

Last Friday, December 2nd, we carried out this fourth activity of the project for 18 students from different ages in <\/span>Aldea Bosque<\/span><\/i> School from <\/span>Chonchi<\/span><\/i> commune in the <\/span>Los Lagos<\/span><\/i> region.<\/span><\/p>\n

How was the activity we did?<\/b><\/p>\n

We prepared a talk on general aspects of Chilean glaciers for the last school we visited this year. This activity was especially thought for students from 2 to 13 years old, who belong to this multi-level school.<\/span><\/p>\n

We prepared a talk about general aspects of Chilean glaciers for this school. We started by understanding the glacier concept, its importance, where we can find glaciers in Chile, in the <\/span>Los Lagos<\/span><\/i> region, and the special connection between glaciers with the <\/span>Isla Grande of Chilo\u00e9<\/span><\/i>. Also, we\u00a0broadly introduce to them the biodiversity that lives in glaciers and around them, the changes that glaciers are exposed to, their main affectations, and finally but not least important, the daily actions to motivate students to take care of nature and glaciers.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the talk, we had a break where students had launch and played around. As a work team, we could walk around the school and get to know the different corners especially thought to promote learning through nature, such as different classrooms delimited by trees, outdoor library, fossil samples, orchard and greenhouse, compost, rainwater recovery, swings hanging the trees\u2019 branches, among other places thought by and to children.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the break, we organized a workshop, which consisted of drawing, coloring, and naming a glacier created by students. They could also leave a message to take care of nature. We gave each student crayons and block-size sheets for this activity as a gift.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, we provided complementary educational material to the students and the school such as:<\/span><\/p>\n
