Science education researchers from King’s and the University of York have partnered to launch a new series of online workshops bringing together teachers, teacher educators, young people and researchers to discuss climate change and sustainability education. There will be four workshops in total and the first one on 30 March will focus on Climate Conversation Big Questions.
This initiative builds on the BERA Manifesto for Education for Environmental Sustainability, to which teachers, teacher educators and youth contributed in 2021. Among their concerns, they identified the need to have greater opportunities to explore ideas on climate education with others.
These virtual discussions will offer a supportive space where young people (16 years +), teachers, teacher educators, educators and researchers can share ideas and perspectives focused on some of the key topics in climate change and sustainability education, thus learning from each other as individuals as well as networks.
Programme:
- 30 March: Big questions – Lizzie Rushton and Lynda Dunlop
- 27 April: The Anthropocene – Cyrus Nayeri
- 25 May: Decolonising – Haira Gandolfi
- 29 June: Authentic research – Becky Parker
