AIRS OF TENERIFE: A LOCAL AND GLOBAL REALITY<\/h2>\n

Project overview<\/h2>\n

The educational programme \u2018Airs of Tenerife, a local and global reality\u2019<\/strong> is an educational programme designed for Secondary Schools that aims to inform and educate about atmospheric pollution, the rational use of energy, energy saving and global climate change.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2018Airs of Tenerife, a local and global reality\u2019 will visit approximately half of the 31 municipalities of the Island of Tenerife thanks to the Environment Division of the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER) thanks to the Tenerife Innova Programme 2016-2021<\/a>, included in Axis 1 of the Strategic Framework for Island Development (MEDI) 2016-2025.<\/p>\n

In addition, the programme has the collaboration of the Regional Ministry of Education and Universities of the Government of the Canary Islands, since it will be implemented in educational centres of the Regional Ministry in Tenerife, and of the Tenerife Energy Agency, Fundaci\u00f3n Canaria.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The content and development of this educational programme includes the following activities:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Installation of a mobile unit for the monitoring and measurement of atmospheric pollutants (SO2<\/sub>, CO, O3<\/sub>, CO2<\/sub>, NOx<\/sub> y part\u00edculas PM10) en los Institutos de Ense\u00f1anza Secundaria seleccionados de la Isla de Tenerife por un periodo de 7 d\u00edas a lo largo de una anualidad.<\/li>\n
  2. Installation in selected Secondary Education Institutes of a traveling exhibition on Climate Change, which originates from the European Climate Education Action Project, Clarity. The Spanish version of this exhibition has been prepared by the National Center for Environmental Education (CENEAM) under the scientific supervision of the Spanish Climate Change Office. It aims to contribute to the understanding of the climate change phenomenon, its causes, and the responses being proposed to address it.<\/li>\n
  3. Screening of the documentaries \u2018An Inconvenient Truth\u2019 and \u2018Before the Flood\u2019 showing the devastating effects of climate change.<\/li>\n
  4. Guided visit of the students to the mobile unit of the Cabildo Insular, operated by ITER, for the monitoring and measurement of atmospheric pollutants.<\/li>\n
  5. To show the students another ITER mobile unit equipped with COSPEC and miniDOAS type Remote Optical Sensors, capable of making remote measurements, in a terrestrial mobile position, on the emission levels of atmospheric pollutants. (SO2<\/sub> y NO2<\/sub>).<\/li>\n
  6. Lecture on air pollution, rational use of energy, energy saving and global climate change for the school community.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This action is co-financed by the MEDI-FDCAN Programme 2016-2025 and is included in the Strategic Framework for Island Development (MEDI) 2016-2025<\/a> of the Island Council of Tenerife.<\/p>\n
