Description
This is a course more focused on the answers and solutions than on the problems of our planet, because we already know a lot about the problem. The main goals of climate change education include building a sustainable future, inspiring action, and making an impact on a collective and personal level. The main goal of this course is to gain an in-depth understanding of climate change, but also to understand what can be done and what actions or inactions impact our school and early childhood students, from kindergarten to about age 8. But where does climate change even fit into the curriculum? Comprehensive learning is not only based on theory and concepts, but is closely related to seeing the future, understanding complex relationships between events, and implementing the knowledge gained.
By completing this course, you will be able to:
• Develop knowledge, skills and competencies related to sustainability..
• Increased knowledge of methodology and a framework for teaching change.
• Deeper understanding on Sustainability and Climate Change and how to approach it in the classroom.
• Improved sense of international cooperation.
• Creating own exercises, lessons plans and other materials.
• Knowing ways in which learners’ achievements can be tested and assessed in the topic.
• Broader understanding of practices, policies and systems on environment and sustainability education in Europe.
The course is designed to be practical, while the theoretical topics focus on key concepts and strategies for implementation in a variety of schools and classrooms of early childhood from kindergarten to approximately 8 years of age. The practical portions of the course are related to group experiences and needs and are based on teamwork, both in pairs and with group projects. Participants will practice trying to implement this topic in different disciplines. The course concludes with a reflection on learning outcomes and an evaluation session.
