Description

How can Climate Change Education and Environmental Sustainability be part of the school curriculum?First of all, climate change education provides an important window into individual and societal responsibility.This course is designed to introduce climate change education for sustainable development across the curriculum, on multiple subjects. We all need to understand how and what to teach about the complex forces driving climate change as well as its impacts on the culture, safety and well-being of our lives and the ones to come (future generations).We all have to change.Objectives: Teachers have an essential role when it comes to push forward a whole-school response to climate change. That includes addressing climate and sustainability across the curriculum, building upon the participatory learning approaches called for by education for sustainable development, and moving learning out of the classroom and into the community.

Methodology & assessment

PREPARATION

We inform participants of the details of the training and prior requirements in relation to the learning objectives and methodologies of the course, as well as the composition of the class with the participants' origin and function.

We send them any digital applications and/or software they may need to install on their equipment, whenever necessary.

We provide the participants with prior technical and documentary support and create group communication support for follow-up before they arrive at the training venue.

TRAINING DEVELOPMENT

Learning is always mobilised under the values of the European Union, to improve participants' skills so that they can spread knowledge and promote creativity to their students, peers and staff.
All practices follow the Quality Standards for Erasmus+ Key Action 1 Courses, as well as our quality certification by the Portuguese Ministry of Education since 2001.

- The training methodology involves theoretical, simulated practical and participatory components, using digital tools and resources, support material and the production of evidence for dissemination.
- Pedagogical methods use learning in focus groups and peer activities, with an emphasis on sharing good practice.
- Use of collaborative processes that promote mutual learning and cooperation between participants, through role-playing activities, cooperative work, activities and discussions participated in and moderated by the trainer, using real examples, case studies, simulations and relevant study visits.

ASSESSMENT

This is based on the development of various activities throughout the course (to present a final project or assignment) and submission to the common digital platform. The material produced is presented among the group, thus enhancing the results of the pedagogical activities carried out.
