The Climacy project aimed to promote sustainability and environmental education by equipping teachers, trainers, and educators with the skills and knowledge necessary to educate students about sustainability. Among the scopes is stimulating motivation and engagement to take action to tackle contemporary environmental challenges and climate change issues and make an impact toward a climate-resilient future. According to these scopes, Climacy was designed to improve public understanding and awareness of the importance of adopting sustainable behaviours both individually and at community, multi-layer levels. In this framework, Climacy established a network of international partners actively engaged in the fight against climate change and supporting the adoption of sustainable practices in professional and daily life. By exchanging best practices at the consortium level, Climacy raised awareness among educators, teachers, and young people (and related networks).
Climacy project aimed at promoting sustainability and environmental education by equipping teachers, trainers and educators with the skills and knowledge necessary to educate students about sustainability and motivate them to act in the modern environmental challenge of addressing climate change and building a climate-resilient future.For this reason, we wanted to tackle with the Climacy project the need for more sustainable education involving teachers and educators, children, and local communities to contribute to a sustainable future. In this regard, we found out that what was needed was also a closer relationship between communities and schools, and for this reason, we wanted to sustain the construction of long-lasting partnerships between the local schools and the community they serve to promote valuable learning experiences. The main needs we identified were: • Low awareness on climate change among young people; • Low stimulation of youth and educator engagement to achieve ways of addressing the problems and opportunities resulting from climate change; • Awareness of best practices and teaching and training methods for teachers/tutors to motivate young people through green activities and environmentally friendly behaviour
