ROSMINI COLLEGE TOTCUS

Welcome to TOTCUS Rosmini College:

The idea behind TOTCUS was hatched when Mr. Geoff. Wood TOTCUS FOUNDER) attended a Global Connections conference at the University of Waikato. One of the presentations was about the Winds of Change project (https://latamcape.org.nz/programmes/education-engagement/winds-of-change-network/). that linked Kiwi and Chilean PostGraduate students to work on climate change impact studies. He thought that project needed a junior partner -- a similar project for schools. He contact the LACAPE and was put in touch with a former Winds of Change 'graduate' who connected him with a teacher in Punta Arenas, Chile and TOTCUS was hatched...

TOTCUS at Rosmini College.

We continue to develop the TOTCUS platform.  There are approximately 125 Rosmini students involved in the project, who are working in small groupos connected with our TOTCUS Partners. . We continue to keep the brakes on  as we know that demand currently exceeds capacity and there is a need to have more New Zealand schools adding students to populate groups until potentially three /units' can be developed 1. Pacific (Oceania, East Asia, Western Americas), 2. Europe, Africa) and 3. Asia.

Activities:

1. Weekly connections with TOTCUS group partners;
