Climate change is now, it is not going anywhere, and it is reshaping the world we know in a detrimental way. This course equips participants with meaningful tools, resources and solutions that will raise their students’ awareness on this topic.

This action-oriented course will guide the participants through a series of workshops, games and fun activities. We will be using various ICT tools and deeply explore the terms like “Anthropocene”, and “Infodemia”, adding political and social science background.
