WMO Photo Competition 2016
WMO is holding a photo competition on the 2016 World Meteorological Day theme: “Hotter, drier, wetter. Face the Future.”
Theme:
The theme has been chosen to illustrate the reality of climate change. As a result of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, land and sea surface temperatures are rising. The frequency and intensity of extreme events like heatwaves and heavy rainfall is increasing. Without urgent action to cut carbon dioxide emissions, this trend will accelerate.
Who can participate:
Young people are especially encouraged to submit photographs, but there is no age limitation. We are keen to encourage a good geographical balance of photos.

All my usual readers know that I am a huge fan of Environmental education as a cross-curricular activity. There are so many posts about the theme on my blog!
Now, here an interesting contest outdoor. The WMO Photo competition invites everyone - students, photographers, young people who like photography, in every part of the world, to share photos that visually capture climate change.
Environmental and outdoor education play an important role for young students personal and academic growth. With students now spending 90% of their time indoors, “nature deficit disorder” is on the rise.
Nature Deficit Disorder is not a medical condition - it describes our lack of a relationship to the environment. It hurts children, families, communities, and environment. Luckily, the cure starts in our own backyards, streets, nature parks.

Getting kids outside teaches them about the world around them and gives them an appreciation for nature while providing an opportunity for sunshine and exercise.
It would be interesting if teachers motivate their students to understand the reasons of climate change.
The contest could be a creative actvity to introduce in different curriculum or even better as a cross-curricular project.
Target : All levels (teachers must ask for parents help with young kids).
Curriculum : Science ; Geography ; Languages, Arts (Photography).
