the last fish been caught, and
the last stream poisoned -
you will realize that you cannot eat money."
- Cree Indian Prophesy

13. Climate change
is not real.
97% of researches say that
climate change is happening and
is caused by humans.
Climate change happens
somewhere else and does
not concern us.
The impacts of climate
change are unpredictable.
Finland is such a small
country that it does not
matter what we do.
The impacts of a Finnish person
are multiple compared to poorer
countries.
But climate change is good
for Finland!
Even though the worst
impacts affect the southern
countries first, climate change
will affect everyone.

17. Study the two
photos and
think…
Where in the
world are the
photos taken?
What happens in the
photos and how are
they connected to
climate change?
Note! There are
no right or
wrong answers!
Prepare to tell
others what kind
of thoughts the
photos
generated.

18. Take the photos out of their
plastic sleeves and read the
explanations on the other
side of the photos.
Consider which Agenda2030 goals
the photos are linked to (the goals
are found in the sleeve).
Prepare to present the
photos to the rest of the
group.

27. • Your next assignment is to
carry out a VIDEO PROJECT
on of the topics of the photo
cards: forests, energy or
food

28. The project partners of the Siemenpuu
Foundation have produced videos on
the topics of the photo cards. Each
group will watch one of the videos and
do their video project based on it.
Your assignment is to make a video on
the same topic but from the point of
view of your country.

29. Orientation and ideas

30. 1. Go to the address ymparistoreportterit.fi/en/southern-voices
2. Choose the video that feels interesting to you or if you’ve worked
with the photo cards, you can choose a video related to the theme of
your card.
3. Answer the questions about the videos found on the website (below
the video). Write down your answers on paper.
• Use the content of the lecture, background information on the website, and
the article links to help you.

31. When you have answered the questions about the video, think about what kind of interesting
things related to your country came up:
How is the theme of the video you watched linked to your country and
its people?
What would you like to know more about?
What could be an issue that you think one should have an impact on?

32. Choose and read one article from the compiled list of articles on the video
website.
The article will give you
wider perspective on the topic
and ideas for your own video.
