El Nino a phenomenon with opportunities: learning history and valuing community assets for an empowering digital curriculum in northern Peru

“有机会的现象”扩大了关于El Niño现象（ENP）的环境故事的获奖在线教育创新的范围和影响。该倡议于2019年6月试行，作为人权委员会“沙漠中的渔业和农业？”项目参与性定性数据收集的一部分。“了解el Niño气候变化背景下的粮食系统机遇平台，秘鲁塞胡拉”，以及应对2019冠状病毒病疫情对秘鲁面对面教学的限制。正在进行的研究正在探索贫困社区的生计如何在历史上利用ENP降雨和塞胡拉沙漠中形成的临时泻湖。“机遇现象”针对的是塞胡拉省（秘鲁北部）的中学生，那里61.9%的人口生活在贫困中。在这里，国家已经确定低受教育率是社会包容水平低下的一个关键方面（MIDIS 2013）。与秘鲁非政府组织PRISMA、Unidad de Gestión Educativa （[UGEL]: Sechura学校董事会）和一所沙漠中学Instituto educional Daniel Alcides Carrión合作，讲故事培训将为115名学生培养在线、数字和研究技能，并扩大这一经验，影响Sechura地区154所学校和21,059名学生的课程开发。通过这样做，它解决了COVID-19对全球学习机会的不平等影响的紧迫关切。调查结果和全省经验将通过设在利马的讲习班与主要的全国教育利益攸关方进行交流，以促进全国对话。通过对El Niño及其历史和对生计的影响进行代际研究，年轻人将了解气候相关挑战的跨领域经济、文化和社会层面。通过量身定制的在线培训，学生的研究项目将反映沙漠- el Niño粮食系统及其管理，包括妇女往往不太引人注目的作用。通过这种方式，当学生们自己从青少年时期过渡到成年时期时，他们将吸收对未来公平适应力的理解。为了扩大影响并吸引更广泛的公众，PRISMA与当地博物馆和遗产部门的新合作伙伴关系将使该项目的参与性实践和成果超越学校平台。博物馆在服务和促进可持续发展议程方面具有巨大潜力。然而，在秘鲁北部干旱地区等许多省级、非大都市地区，这一潜力仍未得到开发。PRISMAs与Sechura市政府（一个现有的“沙漠渔业和农业”项目合作者）的合作将使与民族志博物馆和生态公园的合作成为可能，将学生的故事讲述与博物馆文物数字化联系起来。这些将被策划用于公共户外学习，并成为代际分享和展示的焦点。通过与皇家地理学会的战略合作伙伴关系，课程开发也将针对国际受众，在El Niño上生成双语互动网络资源，由Sechura学生制作的故事和数字图像动画，针对秘鲁和英国的中小学生。该项目符合两国的国家课程要求，有可能产生一种以公平伙伴关系为基础的独特的国际课程对话模式。在发展论坛上，很少听到省级、边缘、沙漠社区的声音，更不用说在这些社区长大的儿童的声音。通过将沙漠- el Niño生计经历在几代人之间和国际范围内曝光，这一影响和参与项目将提高人们对当地知识重要性的认识，并帮助将环境规划作为“一种有机会的现象”纳入政策议程。

"A phenomenon with opportunities" expands the reach and enhances the impact of a prize-winning, on-line, educational innovation in environmental storytelling about the El Niño Phenomenon (ENP). This initiative was piloted in June 2019 as part of participatory qualitative data collection for AHRC project "Fishing and Farming in the Desert? A Platform for Understanding el Niño Foods System Opportunities in the Context of Climate Change in Sechura, Peru", and in response to COVID-19 restrictions on face-to-face, in person teaching in Peru. On-going research is exploring how livelihoods in poor communities have historically taken advantage of ENP rains and temporary lagoons that form in the Sechura desert. "A phenomenon with opportunities" targets secondary school students in Sechura province (northern Peru), where 61.9% of the population live in poverty. Here, the state has identified low education rates as a key dimension of poor levels of social inclusion (MIDIS 2013). Working with Peruvian NGO collaborator PRISMA, the Unidad de Gestión Educativa ([UGEL]: Sechura School Board) and a desert secondary school, Instituto Educacional Daniel Alcides Carrión, storytelling training will develop on-line, digital, and research skills for a cohort of 115 students and scale-up this experience to impact curriculum development for 154 schools and 21,059 students in the wider Sechura area. In so doing, it addresses urgent concerns about the unequal impacts of COVID-19 on learning opportunities globally. The findings and province-wide experience will be reflected upon with leading national education stakeholders via a Lima-based workshop to generate national dialogue. By conducting their own inter-generational research about El Niño, its history and livelihoods impacts, young people will learn about the cross-cutting economic, cultural and social dimensions of climate related challenges. Through tailored on-line training, students' research projects will reflect on the desert-El Niño food system and its management, including the often less-visible roles played by women. In this way students will absorb understandings of equitable resilience for their futures, as they themselves transition through their teenage years into adulthood. To widen impact and engage a broader public, new partnerships led by PRISMA with the local museum and heritage sector will take the project's participatory practices and outcomes beyond school platforms. Museums have great potential to serve and catalyse sustainable development agendas. Yet this potential remains untapped in many provincial, non-metropolitan contexts like the arid regions of northern Peru. PRISMAs partnership with the Municipality of Sechura, an existing "Fishing and Farming in the Desert" project collaborator, will enable work with the Ethnographic Museum and Ecological Park, linking students' storytelling with museum artefacts digitisation. These will be curated for public outdoor learning and become focal points for inter-generational sharing and exposition.Through a strategic partnership with the Royal Geographical Society, curriculum development will also target an international audience, generating a bi-lingual interactive web resource on El Niño, animated by storytelling and digital imagery produced by Sechura students and targeted at secondary and primary students in Peru and the UK. Aligned with national curricula requirements in both settings the project has the potential to generate a unique model of international curriculum dialogue grounded in equitable partnerships. The voices of the provincial, marginal, desert communities, and even less the children who grow up in them, are seldom heard in development forums. By bringing desert-El Niño livelihoods experiences to light, across generations and internationally, this impact and engagement project will raise awareness of the importance of local knowledge and help insert ENP into policy agendas as 'a Phenomenon with Opportunities'.
