Santo Domingo, October 27 2015

The Ministry of Culture (MINC) and the Dominican National Commission for UNESCO (CNDU for its acronym in Spanish), will host the Forum “Enriquillo Lake, a prelude to climate change” Film Forum, aimed at students and teachers of the UNESCO Associated Schools Project Network (ASPnet) in the Dominican Republic.

The main goal of this activity is for schools belonging to ASPnet to learn about concrete evidence regarding the effects of climate change in the Dominican Republic.

In addition to the screening of the documentary, an open exchange of ideas is scheduled about the answers provided by this work to the increase of the water levels of Lake Enriquillo.

The event will be held on November 4, in the BCI training room of the Pedro Henríquez Ureña National Library, from 9:50 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The activity will be attended by government officials and representatives of civil society, among other special guests.

It is hoped that this space for dialogue can raise awareness among teachers and students in order to value the importance of learning about climate change and its link to the development of our country.
