This approach is designed to address the emotional and mental health impacts of climate change, as well as to grow creativity and to empower both teachers and children/youth in becoming leaders of change.
The overall approach is to review and build upon pedagogical success stories of climate resilience education, mobilising the arts, storytelling, traditional ecological knowledge (including Indigenous Peoples’ knowledge and practices), climate science (including citizen’s science), eco psychology, mindfulness, and a Futures Literacy approach.
