▶Objectives
The main objective of this project is to enhance climate literacy among students aged 15-19 while promoting sustainable practices and economic understanding of environmental issues. We aim to equip teachers with the tools and knowledge to engage students in climate action initiatives, fostering leadership and collaboration. Through these educational activities, we seek to create a generation of informed individuals who are proactive advocates for sustainability in their schools and communities.
▶Activities
The project will implement workshops focused on climate change, green economy, and practical sustainability. Key activities include developing a climate and environmental economics toolkit for schools, conducting teacher training, facilitating school-based climate action projects, and hosting an eco-innovation hackathon. Each activity will encourage collaboration among students, teachers, and partner organizations to ensure effective knowledge transfer and practical application of concepts.
▶Impact
The project aims to enhance climate literacy among students and teachers, demonstrated by the successful implementation of at least five school-based climate action projects. Participants will gain practical skills in sustainability and economic viability, resulting in positive changes in school and community practices. The toolkit will be a replicable resource for other schools, encouraging broader climate action initiative
