4 Summary

In Session 3 you’ve considered how climate education needs to go beyond providing learners with knowledge about the climate crisis and develop their capacity to act. You’ve drawn on examples from different disciplines to reflect on how climate-related teaching might be incorporated into your own curriculum. You’ve also explored how educators across sectors and subject areas can harness the power of photography when addressing the climate emergency in teaching and learning activities.

You should now be able to:

  • design learning activities which support learners in understanding the causes and impacts of the climate emergency
  • critically reflect on your own practice and identify ways to develop it further
  • critically reflect on the role of technology in relation to the climate emergency.

In the next session you will explore how collaborative learning can contribute to addressing the climate emergency, focusing on citizen science and virtual exchange projects. You will also review what you’ve learnt during the course and create your own climate education action plan.
