Annual Conference in Climate Change Education
Making the Invisible Visible in Climate Change Education
Wednesday October 30th, 2024
Climate change is expanding worldwide, manifesting in severe weather events, declining biodiversity, and growing injustice - yet its causes, impacts, and solutions are often hidden in plain sight. A critical part of Climate Change Education (CCE) is revealing these invisible factors to support mitigation and adaptation to a changing climate, while simultaneously making new narratives visible that inspire hope and action for teachers and learners alike. From spotlighting energy education, to mapping paths towards climate justice, this conference makes innovative ideas visible to help learners of all ages 鈥榗hange the climate鈥� in their schools and communities.
This EcoSchools conference kicks off a new year of teaching and learning by bringing 吃瓜黑料网 educators and staff together to foster Climate Change Education in K-12 classrooms. Keynote speakers, workshop leaders and local organizations will share a range of inspiring ideas, strategies and resources to involve students in climate change learning that is authentic, interdisciplinary, action-oriented and community-driven. Join us to connect with other educators engaged in CCE to exchange ideas, foster community, and discover hopeful pathways for advancing climate action across all levels of education!
