Climate Smart Transition Year Workshop

20 of our students have taken part in the Climate Smart Transition Year Workshop on Wednesday 15th of November from 10am-1PM. They began by discussing what Climate Smart is, how it is linked to climate change and flooding. They showed a range of maps to facilitate a discussion around local flooding and areas in Kinsale that are in danger of flooding and ways we can adapt to flooding. This workshop was interactive and engaging. Students were involved in a number of walking debates around different flood measures and whether they were grey, green or mixed infrastructure and students had to justify their opinions. Students also built their own flood kits as part of the workshop. The TY students really enjoyed this engaging and interactive workshop!
