This forum is more than just a series of talks; it's a platform for collaboration, innovation, and empowerment. Gain practical tools, proven case studies from leading schools, and the inspiration to drive meaningful change.

This webinar will illuminate the main sources of schools’ carbon emissions and what schools can - and should – be doing to reduce them. While most schools teach about climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals in the classroom, very few have a clear picture of their own carbon footprint, which activities generate the most emissions, or what practical measures could really make a difference in reducing them. By addressing these questions, schools can not only take responsibility for their emissions but also provide important experiential learning opportunities for students.

The webinar will provide the rationale for why it is important to integrate the SDGs into teaching and learning and how this can be achieved using the SDG Interdisciplinary Project Builder. The 3 Key Take-Aways are: ● The importance of integrating the SDGs into Teaching and Learning in Schools ● How to build an Interdisciplinary project using the SDG Project Builder ● Overcoming Challenges and Maximising Impact

This talk will explore the importance of climate change education, as a strategy for climate change adaptation within the international contexts led by the COP21. Drawing upon the IPCC reports, the OCE has produced a set of educational resources that cover the scientific and societal dimensions, at local and global levels, while developing students’ reasoning abilities and guiding them to take action in their schools and communities. ● Climate Change Education can be a lever for climate change adaptation. ● Climate Change Education is complex: It must build on strong science education and active pedagogies. ● Going beyond the knowledge-only approach is essential for a quality climate change education. ● Effective teacher education for CCE incorporates active learning, supports interdisciplinary collaboration and offers feedback and reflection.
