Climate Haikus from the Global Classroom: A Cross-Cultural Collaboration Between Students from the University of Pretoria in South Africa and Le Mans Université in France

Climate Haikus from the Global Classroom is the result of a remarkable cross-cultural collaboration between students from the University of Pretoria in South Africa and Le Mans Université in France. Through haiku poetry, the students were able to express their fears, hopes and struggles around dealing with climate change in their specific situations while learning from each others’ experiences and reflecting on their own to broaden their horizons and expand their view on how to tackle climate change.
This book contains poems from a wide range of students and lecturers alike, from a diverse range of backgrounds in a number of languages including English, French, Japanese, isiZulu, Afrikaans, Italian, IsiXhosa, Korean, Spanish, Southern Sotho and Arabic, reflecting the ways in which climate change affects the lives of people all across the globe.
