Coasts - Stakeholder meeting
At the end of the Coasts topic, we carry out a stakeholder meeting in class. Marsaxlokk is a village that gets very strong waves during the winter. The old breakwater is damaged and a new breakwater has been proposed.
I give each student a different 'role' to play. They discuss in groups and then all together as a class. At the end we have the final vote. This activity is based on a real EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment). The map I use and all the information of each of the 'roles' is taken from the report of this stakeholder meeting. Students always love this activity!
