Questioning the Voices

This activity sheet uses the very successful Hear our Voices compilation booklet and other stimulus resources to engage your students in thinking about what they would like to know about climate change from their peers. The activities could be part of Citizenship, Geography or of interest to your tutor group. To send your students' questions directly to schools in India and Kenya either post us your students' questions or return them by email.
