Go to documents related to foresight and participatory simulation
As these documents will be useful for your participation, we strongly suggest that you read or look at some of them before you participate. It is probably better to choose documents about areas with which you are less familiar than those on topics about which you already know.
Documents about the Mediterranean, oceans and climate change
This page contains documents related to the themes of the International School - essentially, oceans, the Mediterranean and climate change. It also contains a section on the important area of geoethics. Docs can be of any kind: links, articles, videos (at the end), etc.
Most of the written docs are pdf files and should download directly. Video links take you to the web page where the link to watch is located. You are encouraged to read or look at some of the documents below before arriving at the International School.
If you would like to add a doc, please write to us (email address below) with the link only; do not send the actual document. If you are author of a doc, please mention this. Before sending, please check to see whether the doc is not already below.
Docs about oceans, the Mediterranean and climate change are below.
Docs about foresight and participatory simulation are in a sub-page.
