Teaching for a Sustainable World: Climate Change and Global Citizenship

Description

With the escalating urgency of the climate crisis, teachers bear a responsibility to empower the next generation of global citizens with relevant knowledge, critical thinking, and active empathy.

This course takes a comprehensive worldwide perspective on sustainable development, global injustice, ecological footprints, and the interconnected relationship we all share when it comes to tackling climate change.

Participants will actively engage in learner-centered activities that can be adapted for various levels of learners in the classroom.

Each day we delve into the underlying causes of contemporary global challenges, equipping participants with the knowledge, skills, and tools to empower their students.

Throughout the week we will explore our role as global citizens and how to encourage our students to become part of the changes they want to see in the world.

At the end of the course, participants will confidently be able to integrate climate change and global citizenship education into their lessons in a holistic way, lead actionable projects, and yield sustainable results.

Targeted exclusively to B1 speakers or above.
