Lionfish [2023 – 2024, KA210-SCH-2023-004] is a small-scale partnership in school education, bringing together experts in documentaries from Fox Media Documentaries, learning scientists from EdMedia@CYENS in collaboration with local environmental centers and schools, aiming to engage pupils into playing an active role in reacting to climate change.
Immersed in the LIONFISH 360VR film (Biosphere VR), the students will be transported to a climate hotspot, a coast in Cyprus, where the new region’s lionfish species is spreading out, putting in danger the local ecosystem and the fishermen’s craftsmanship. The primary objective is to help students understand the impact of climate change on the Mediterranean marine ecosystem, and the spread of lionfish, and via STEAM activities and visual thinking canvases, explore local challenges related to climate change and sustainability.
