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.

Before taking action, there is a need for thorough understanding of the processes that are warming the planet.

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. Participants will discover what action we can take, and what kind of changes we can introduce to make an impact that matters.
By the end of the course participants will learn how to implement interactive, engaging activities, how to successfully raise awareness, and act on climate change.
