Schools from Israel awarded at the GLOBE Annual National Meeting
The magnificent sound of drums made the excitement of the audience even higher. Who will be awarded this year? The girls, boys and teachers worked hard for several months and now they are waiting for the winners to be announced.
School teams have presented their best student research projects and videos on the GLOBE Program during the Annual Meeting of GLOBE Program Israel that was held close to Tel Aviv on June 12.
The best 19 schools from the network of 140 GLOBE schools were pre-selected and invited to attend the meeting and awarding ceremony in the same time. They had the honor to talk to the distinguished guests from the Ministry of Education and the U.S. Embassy as well as to the students and teachers from other parts of the country.
GLOBE schools in Israel are motivated to do the research and collect data as in any other country, but there is a special aspect to it: They also focus on communication or even marketing of the GLOBE Program idea to their community. As the guests could see from the best videos presented, students took this challenge seriously. The best 7 short videos from the total 22 were selected and are posted online as “the best of GLOBE Israel”.
And the winners are:
Amal Elementary School - Kfar Yona
Al Essawiye Junior High School
Congratulations to the winners and to Mr. Farid Hamdan, the national coordinator of the GLOBE Program in Israel, and his team, for their long-term efforts to bring the program to diverse communities in Israel.
