Standing on the shoulders of giants

Katie Silva, teacher-librarian, Wilderness School and HASS SA President. So… you’re familiar with the curriculum you’ll teach, you’ve thought through your pedagogy, context, planning and resources. So you can survive and thrive, we’ll identify some giants (networks, associations, resources and mentors) and make some connections. Not all giants are friendly, so we’ll set some heffalump traps too.

2014 United Nations International Year of Small Island Developing States

The International Year of Small Island Developing States aims to raise recognition of environmental problems that small island states are facing.

According to the UN Herald, the Pacific region is endangered by environmental influences and that is why Pacific island states need support and assistance. Countries like Australia, France and United States aim to promote the prevention of forced migration on the basis of environmental impact. Events and activities that promote the year are dedicated to work towards securing small island states and preventing forced emigration from them.
