Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges of our time. In this project, participants will discover the stark realities of climate change impacts across the world, as well as inspiring insights into opportunities for ensuring that we mitigate the risks and adapt our systems as best possible to reduce damage and destruction to lives. This project will remind us that tackling climate change is not only something to do for our children, but with them, and sometimes with them leading the way. It aims to take early action to deal with climate change in order to tackle these problems and provide a healthier and greener for young and adult citizens in Europe. This project is intended to create greater interest in climate issues and also to be an eyeopener for joint European projects where you work with partners from other countries that work for similar goals. The official conference was held in Paris in the last years (December 2015 and also in April 2016) related to Climate Change led to serious resolutions in this aspect. During the conference, the leaders emphasized the great connections and negative impact that the rapidly developing climate change has on the ability of nations to attain sustainable development.  

What do you want to achieve by implementing the project? The main goals of climate change education include building a sustainable future, inspiring action and influencing at a collective and personal level. The main goal of the project is to help you understand climate change in-depth, but also to change one's own behaviour and actions in order to influence our school and students and create climate awareness. However, where does climate change belong in the curriculum anyway? During the realization of this project, different activities will be realized by all the factors involved in this cooperation, such as analysis, risk assessment, 5 LLT meetings, local needs assessment, international online meetings, managing meetings in organizations, defining logistics plans, collaborating with external factors, info pack design, promotion plan development, media collaboration, collaborating with institutions, intensive preparation of participants, participation in the activities, participation in on-site practical visits, external impact assessment, defining evaluation plan and defining dissemination process. Participants will be an active part of various models of non-formal education activities such as energizers, presentations, video presentations, brainstorming, debates, onsite visits, public events and evaluation. Thus pupils will learn how the climate system works; what factors cause the climate to change across different time scales and how those factors interact; how climate has changed in the past; how scientists use models, observations and theory to make predictions about future climate; and the possible consequences of climate change for our planet. Pupils will learn how climate change today is different from past 4 Climate Awareness-Creation Strategies" Lisbon, 2022 climate cycles and how satellites and other technologies are revealing the global signals of a changing climate. Finally, by making science fun and interesting, with experiments and apps, we will make students aware of the relevance of science in our daily lives as well as in the fight against climate change.
