▶Objectives
Bridge the gap between students' environmental knowledge and behavior, fostering active engagement in preventing climate change effects. Implement enriched school curriculums, expanding the integration of climate change across diverse subjects to deepen students' understanding. Elevate student engagement with innovative pedagogical materials emphasizing active learning, higher cognitive skills, aim to change their values and attitudes that is a presumptive basis of transforming real behaviour.
▶Activities
Learning-teaching activities in partner schools+digital activities before and after+materials creation by students. Teachers creating, testing (30 teachers, 600 students) and translating 30 lesson-plans for 6 subjects + 10 blended lesson-plans in 5 languages with focus on promoting climate mitigation and adaptation instead of concentrating on the problem, using active learning methods. Integrating climate change issues topic more into our schools curriculums + implementation. Dissemination.
▶Impact
40 lesson plans in 5 languages used by educators in our countries and abroad, 18 animations + other materials. Our schools curriculums are revised from the point of including climate change issues more in teaching-learning processes. Raised awareness about climate change has led to measured changes in the behavior of main target groups, eco-friendly practices are more incorporated into their daily lives. Schools incorporate more recycled materials into their teaching and learning processes.
