iEARN Projects- Global Issues: Environment
Jubail International School (JIS) is located in the Eastern Province of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. JIS joined iEARN
in January 2016 and collaborated with students of different schools from USA, Moldova and Pakistan.
We are proud to have Grade 7 teams, from both Boys’ and Girls’ Sections, representing JIS in iEARN forum for
Global Issues: Environment Learning Circle 1. Grade 7 (girls) were collaborating on a project “Weather
changes around us “. The goal of this project was to highlight the climate change around us and show how it
effects on our routine and habits. Another goal was to show how to develop different ways of adapting within
our surroundings, in order to maintain a healthy life style. Whereas Grade 7 (boys) were collaborating on a
project “Causes of Marine Pollution and its effects on Marine life and human beings”. The goals of this
project were to understand the factors which lead to Marine Pollution hence affecting sea food, to understand
how far poor drainage and industrial waste adversely affect sea water and also drinking water for local
population, and what effects do we observe when we have deforestation for building roads and industries.
Our students and teachers both enjoyed working on these projects. Mrs. Alyaa Al-Hakeem facilitator of Girls
section said, “it was an awe-inspiring experience being part of this community and seeing students endeavor to
present their views and interpretation. We all cherished our collaboration together and we are genuinely
enthusiastic about exhibiting our final projects”.
Mr. Habib ur Rahman Asad facilitator of Boys section said, “it was really a nice experience to work in
collaboration with other learning partners. This has provided a great opportunity to the students to think
beyond boundaries and explore new aspects of world around them”.
We the Jubail International School are thankful to Participant Schools, Dr. Barry, Mr. Mark Cullen and the iEARN
for giving us this great opportunity to be part of such a great learning and exposure. We would wish to join
more project in the coming year.
