Symposium A (Synopsis): Climate change education through the viewpoint of european projects
Abstract
The rapid amplification of climate change during the last decades has significant effects on both the natural environment and society, which are expected to intensify (Pörtner, 2022). For citizens to be able to accept and adopt the necessary lifestyle changes to help tackle the phenomenon and protect the planet, they need to be properly equipped with scientific knowledge about the causes, consequences and measures mitigating climate change as well as with skills such as exploring multiple perspectives, evaluating information and arguments, making decisions and taking climate action (Otto et al., 2020). Therefore, various European projects related to STEM education have focused on the pursuit for effective practices to support the construction of knowledge and the development of students' skills and practices related to climate change, as well as the appropriate preparation of pre-service and in-service teachers for the educational negotiation of this topic. The studies included at the symposium cover different dimensions of climate change education from the perspective of different European Erasmus+ projects.
