20:30 – 20:00 An ecological cross-country tour, Dr. Dafna Mandler and Dr. Rakefet Sharon
The ecological tour takes place within the framework of each student’s home college. During the ecological tour the students characterize the ecological environment in which their college is located. Later, the students return to their group of involvement in which they need to create an ecological map of the various characteristics throughout the State of Israel. This task reflects the high level of cooperation and mutual trust. Students are required to work together to create an original collaborative product. The independent data collection merges into a new collective result.
