Featured challenge
Kickoff Event | European Youth Week 2024: Connecting, Learning, and Growing Together
The EducationForClimate Coalition was present recently at the European Parliament to celebrate the European Youth Week 2024.
That article shares with you some of the key takeways. The one that comes as a conclusion is the following: we warmly invite you to share your local, public event on the platform!
This is an easy challenge for all community members willing to share about their events and meet, like we did, fellow climate education enthusiasts not only online during our digital opportunities and our cafés, but in person, too!

Youth Climate LAB 2 | Second meeting summary and expert's recording
We invite you to rewatch this very interesting contribution around disinformation in the occasion of the second session of the Youth Climate LAB on AI and climate change in learning communities with Hendrick Bruns (Joint Research Centre) and Kari Kivinen (EUIPO).
Given that the responsibility for processing information now lies with individuals, that there are far fewer, if any, gatekeepers, and that AI is coming into play and targeting individuals individually, how can we not conclude that it is essential to have the skills to process this information and distinguish the wheat from the chaff?

Education for Climate TALKS of the month
IMP>ACT: assessing the impact of sustainability and climate change education – ft. Jelle Boeve-de Pauw
IMP>ACT is a new Horizon Europe project that will develop an assessment framework for “action competence”.
The goal of the project is to “develop a set of tools that allow different users to map out the impact of sustainability and climate change education. Assessing that impact is still in its infancy, which is partly because the learning outcomes of this education are complex and go beyond standard testing. “

"Education has taught young people what the problems are, not how to change society" - ft. Daniella Tilbury
Daniella Tilbury tells us about her long and renown journey into sustainable education. She shares with us her views on opportunities and challenges for education systems to adapt to the transition.
Daniella believes that today we should pay particular attention to monitoring and evaluating what we do, not for the purposes of comparison, but for learning and moving forward.
