Work on building the Education for Climate coalition started in December 2020.
The goal was to create a coalition, a working and evolving community, to learn together.
So this is what happened then.
December 2020
The idea of the Education for Climate initiative is born
We aspire to support the creation of a European participatory education community for climate led by teachers and students together with other educational actors.
January 2021
Finding the first community seeds
We launch an EU Survey and do a snowball mapping to identify participants and interests.
February 2021
Starting the community planting
The survey (576 contributions) and community ecosystem analysis informs our next steps and starts the community co-design phase.
March and April 2021
The first sprouts of the community

The first community flower has grown
The community is calling! First Education for Climate Gathering
