he climate crisis is among the most pressing global issues right now, as evidenced by the European Green Deal – and student activists like Greta Thunberg have put schools at its forefront. Accordingly, tackling the topic in our classrooms has never been more important. This course will help you to understand and make sense of the scientific evidence behind the crisis and the associated ongoing debates. More importantly, it will explore how you can approach the topic through projects and other activities in your classroom.

This course is based on the work of the Pedagogical Advisory Board.

As a participant, you will:

• Explore the basic science behind climate change
• Learn about the main consequences of the climate crisis
• Discover ideas, pedagogical practices and tools that can help you to address the climate crisis and environmental sustainability in your classroom
• Understand how to utilise and integrate student thinking about the climate crisis into classroom activities
• Investigate approaches to organise constructive debates on the topic of climate change

 

• The language of communication is English.
• You can follow the course at your own pace. The only deadline you need to pay attention to is for the final peer-assessment activity.
• To get the most out of the course, you can join the course Facebook group or share your thoughts on Twitter using the hashtag #TeachingClimateCrisis.
