For us the "WE" in the campaign poster is the education community and the systems and professionals that shape practice.
The key debate is about - How we could/should change?
A number of other ET articles also contribute to thinking about responses to climate change. See other ET articles on climate change themes.
Project Process
The anniversary of COP26 in November 2022 provided the opportunity to reflect on the educational implications of climate change and ask - How goes it?
Elephant Times Magazine [3.1] introduces the project ....
Five starter conversations focused on the implications for: school Initiatives, young people [teenagers], change agents, and children. The final session considered awareness of the justice perspective.
The project offers the proposition that there is value in work that focuses on an educational response to the climate crisis, that sees teachers and schools as 'part of the solution', that goes beyond the basic campaign.
It is not just learning about climate change. It is that, but it extends to all aspects of curriculum, the organisation of the school, the well-being of learners, and to rethinking their learning needs in context of the changes [and uncertainty] that will result from the crisis.
'About Our Schools: Improving on Previous Best', by Tim Brighouse & Mick Waters, provides the opportunity for new conversations about schools and their future role in meeting learner needs in a world of accelerating change. The project provided the opportunity to consider these ideas in the context of the educational implications of climate change.
A Core Group provided an anchor to the process: Ben Ballin, Dorit Braun, Tim Brighouse, Lucy Kirkham, Jeff Serf, Scott Sinclair and Mick Waters.
