The first aim of the Climat Kids project is to pool educational approaches on a European scale and disseminate non-formal education tools and approaches adapted to the age and environmental context of the target audiences. The second aim is to create a sustainable and inclusive awareness-raising dynamic for young Europeans aged 5 to 16 about the issues involved in combating the effects of climate change, by helping to create transnational networks of young people involved in climate change issues. In concrete terms, the objectives were for : - Children: to exchange knowledge with other European children, to become aware of the effects of the RC in Europe, and to involve them in activities to take action for the ecological transition. To do this, we looked for a European school involved in environmental education for young people. To do this, we worked in partnership with the KIEM school in the Netherlands, which has the UNESCO label and has been involved in environmental education issues for several years.
How can we raise awareness among children aged 5 to 16 about the effects of global warming without being pessimistic and anxiety-provoking, and encourage them to become fully-fledged players and future eco-citizens of tomorrow? This was the starting point for the "Climat Kids" project, or changing children's ideas through awareness-raising activities tailored to European children from schools with different cultural and climatic backgrounds. Children in Guadeloupe, a French outermost region living on an island, and those in the Netherlands on the European mainland are confronted with the effects of global warming and the need to adapt to it in their daily lives. The aim of the Climat Kids project is to raise awareness among young people aged 5 to 16, through youth workers (teachers, youth workers, etc.), of the common environmental issues and challenges linked to the climate transition (RC) by giving them tools and methodological advice to help them become informed and actively involved in the ecological transition. The reasons for applying for the Climat kids project were first and foremost to exchange best teaching practices relating to awareness-raising and education activities on the environment, and in particular context.
