The event witnessed the enthusiastic participation of 14 school divisions from across the region, making it a remarkable gathering of educators and learners.
The main highlight of the caravan was a quiz bee that focused on basic and essential facts about climate change.
The primary objective of this activity was to enhance the learners’ understanding of the impact of climate change and equip them with knowledge on how to mitigate its adverse effects on our environment.

The caravan attracted hundreds of participants who actively engaged in various activities throughout the event.
The program featured informative audio and video presentations, enlightening talks on climate change adaptation, discussions on the current climate situation, and a commitment wall where attendees could express their dedication to addressing climate-related challenges.
In addition to these engaging sessions, the participants had the opportunity to attend workshops and interactive sessions.
These activities were designed to educate them about sustainable practices and eco-friendly initiatives that can make a positive impact on the environment.
By facilitating hands-on learning experiences, the caravan aimed to empower the learners to become advocates for environmental preservation in their respective schools and communities.
The successful execution of the Regional Climate Change Caravan exemplifies the commitment of DepEd Region X to prioritize climate change education and resilience-building among the youth.
Through such initiatives, the education sector aspires to shape future generations who are well-informed, responsible, and proactive in addressing the challenges posed by climate change.
