On Saturday, October 27th, our GREIP research leader, Dr. Melinda Dooly, alongside PhD students Maria Mont and Ese Emmanuel Uwosomah, and Onyemowo Ejeme from Oakbridge Foundation, Abuja, Nigeria, presented a paper at the Iowa State University conference.
Their presentation focused on the Young Activists’ telecollaboration project, a pioneering educational initiative connecting students from Spain (ages 9-10) and Nigeria (ages 10-14). They demonstrated how this project integrates language learning, AI, and sustainable advocacy among children from diverse backgrounds, guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a particular focus on raising awareness about the global water crisis (SDG6). They also argued that empowering children with language skills, AI literacy, and a sense of global responsibility in addressing real-world issues can pave the way for a more vibrant and sustainable future for all.
