Description

The contribution to sustainable development begins with an awareness process through the calculation of our personal carbon footprint. And schools are the key to initiate change. Schools teach values, habits and customs that go beyond the school area. At school it is possible to find out different ways to mitigate climate change, for example, through renewable energy, building smart buildings, gardens, lighting systems or water management.

In this course, teachers will find a lot of materials to guide them in this important mission. Climate change not only poses environmental challenges but also affects the economic, social and cultural aspects of our lives, affecting, for example, our landscapes, drinking water and food supply; therefore, teaching only the science behind climate change is not enough, we must involve all topics under a multidisciplinary approach to raise awareness and tackle climate change.

Methodology & assessment

The course methodology will have daily motivation activities, self-knowledge, self improvement, working in pairs and groups, simulations and networking not only in the classroom but also in outdoor activities. The methodology will transform every teacher into an empowered version of them as an environment agent who cares about their pupils’ development but also about how to create a better and more fair society.

The course will have lectures, seminars and workshops to ensure full comprehension and every day assignment support. In addition, participants will work and receive a guide to implement this subject with their pupils in a practical way.

The course is aimed for teachers and school staff from pre-school level to primary, secondary, vocational, adult and special needs education, staff of non-government organizations, government and policy makers and company staff.
