Objectives: *Increased ability of teachers to teach global warming topics and concepts *Increased cross-curricular competences of teachers in junior high and high school: ability to relate global warming topics between different subjects and better understand the complexity of the topic, from different perspectives. * Increased communication between teachers, across disciplines, adapting schedules and curricula that limit teaching opportunities *students will be better informed about the science behind global warming, but also about how institutions and people deal with problems of this magnitude *improved capacity to prepare individualized, informal training
The aim of the project is to prepare teachers to deal with the complexity of the subject by making it factual and in view of local, regional and international situations, using different approaches. The second goal is to prepare students (as the next generation) to become real agents of change and to learn about the collective responsibility to protect the environment and prevent further harm. The ultimate goal of the project is to prepare teachers by creating a teacher's guide and teaching materials with simple, practical activities that they can use in their daily classes without overloading the teaching content. The target group of this project are: Target group 1: Teachers. Needs: Lack of training and teaching materials are the main obstacles for teachers to include the topic in lessons. Target group 2: Pupils in ISCED level 3 schools (14-16 years) Needs: Students need to understand what it means on a practical level to reduce the global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius. The changes that are required locally and nationally.
