1.               Why 

Europeans are very concerned about climate change and support actions across the EU to tackle it. However, public perceptions of the risk posed by the climate crisis and its human-caused nature vary between people and countries.  

In order to address the topic of climate crisis with their students, teachers need at least a basic understanding of the science behind the changing climate. Climate science is a multidisciplinary phenomenon linking organically to all school subjects. This makes it challenging for educators to effectively bring it into their classrooms but also offers tremendous opportunities. Strengthening the climate science literacy of the learners can provide a sound foundation to develop their relevant awareness and possibly cause new lifestyle behaviours. 

2.               What 

The course offers a systemic approach to the topic and inspires participants with relevant educational practices. In four modules participants will be provided with a brief overview of some key concepts and evidence essential for engaging with their students about the topic. The focus will be on the ways participants can introduce the topic of the climate crisis in the classroom across disciplines by approaching it not only within the domain of science but also looking at the social dimensions of it. As a conclusion of the course, they will be asked to turn this knowledge and all the ideas the course has generated into action: how would they shape their classroom project to address the climate crisis? Additionally, three live events are organised as part of this course. 

The course is organised around the principle of peer learning, with course content designed to stimulate reflection and discussion so that participants can learn from each other’s experiences and ideas. In order to complete the course, participants are required to submit a final course product and review their peers’ work. To facilitate peer learning, a closed Facebook group has been set up which is available here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/AddressingGlobalClimateCrisis/. 

3.               Who 

Anybody is welcome to join the course, but it is targeted at teachers and other educational professionals at all levels and of all subjects, who have an interest in the topic. 

The language of communication is English.
