Our students represented the Alliance Française at COP30 in Brazil

Four students from our school, along with two teachers, participated in the COP30 held in Belém, Brazil—an experience that allowed them to witness firsthand one of the world’s most important environmental conferences.

 

During their visit to theGreen Zone, our students learned about the work of civil society organizations, activists, and youth movements, and were able to observe firsthand how climate action is being driven from different regions and perspectives.

The program included a visit to the Federal Rural University of the Amazon (UFRA), participation in a climate march, and direct interaction with the local community, where they interviewed fishermen and residents of Belén to understand how they cope with the region’s environmental challenges.

One of the most significant moments was the drafting of aninternational youth manifesto, written in collaboration with delegations from other countries and presented to Brazil’s Minister of the Environment, which highlighted the need to create meaningful opportunities for children and young people to participate in environmental decision-making.

This experience is part of our school’s three years of work within the Global Youth Pact for Climate Change and reinforces our commitment to educating students who are socially aware, critical thinkers, and committed to their environment.

Our students returned with new ideas and inspiration to continue promoting sustainability initiatives within our community
