Session 4: The power of collaboration
Introduction
Session 4 explores the power of collaboration. You’ll discover how citizen science can contribute to addressing the climate emergency through public participation and collaboration in scientific research. You’ll explore theories of collaborative learning and learn about the potential of virtual exchange projects to support climate education. Finally, you will review what you’ve learnt and create your own climate education action plan.
By the end of this session, you should be able to:
- design collaborative 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
- design an intervention that responds to the climate emergency through an aspect of teaching or learning.
