Climate change is one of the biggest issues facing the planet. As educators, many of us want to highlight this to the children we teach and encourage them to take action but it can feel overwhelming: not knowing what to do or where to start.
With this in mind, we at the University of Reading have developed a short online course to help schools and settings incorporate learning about the climate into their teaching and empower children to make changes through sustainability actions.
We didn’t set out to provide a roadmap for climate education, (every school and setting is different!) instead, we've created a space for teachers to discuss examples from case study schools and nurseries and share their own experiences and ideas. In this way we hope that the people who take the course can contribute to the discussion, so everyone finishes with a better understanding and with a sense of hope.
