Empowering Youth through Environmental Storytelling

<< Objectives >>This project aims to advance international commitments to Climate Change Education by providing schools in Europe and beyond with innovative ways to engage in CCE; enabling teachers to feel confident and motivated to introduce CCE teaching in their lessons; empowering young people with knowledge, skills, voice and a platform to inform and influence others; and helping to foster a community among educators and youth to share information and build solidarity in the face of the climate crisis.<< Implementation >>Key activities include developing self-guided cross-curricular CCE teaching resources focused on climate literacy and multimedia journalism production; focusing on innovative pedagogical methods that develop students’ knowledge, technical and transversal skills, voice and agency; developing multi-format guidance and support tailored to teachers’ diverse needs; and facilitating cross-border multimedia collaboration, online community spaces and in-person teacher training opportunities.<< Results >>The expected results of this project are: more schools in Europe and beyond using the project’s resources to introduce CCE or expand their CCE activities; more teachers with the skills and knowledge to teach CCE; more young people who feel equipped to understand the climate crisis and have an increased agency to act as a result of engaging with the project’s resources; more project participants who feel an increased sense of global community and heightened intercultural awareness.
