Pupils of French-speaking Switzerland, as promised last October, it’s now your turn to take part in the “Climate Pioneers” initiative! 

As from today, this project of Swisscom, Solar Impulse and myclimate is open to pupils in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Since its launch in September 2010, the initiative has allowed 2500 schoolchildren from the German-speaking part of Switzerland to carry out 140 climate-related projects.

The Marché-Neuf School in Bienne has already taken part in this initiative and will be followed by Lausanne, Belmont-sur-Lausanne and Porrentruy. For classes also wanting to do a project aimed at protecting the climate and to receive support in developing their ideas and putting them into practice, the foundation offers introductory lessons together with a range of learning materials.

Are you a pupil or a teacher from kindergarten upwards in the French-speaking part of Switzerland? Does this project interest you? Invite myclimate free into you class by sending an email to the following address: pionniers.duclimat@myclimate.org.

Bertrand and André are proud to be the promoters of this initiative and were delighted to reveal the projects for this year 2012 at the prize-giving ceremony.
