Youth Climate Lab
Are you a student or a young professional (between 16 and 25 years old) interested in discussing climate-related issues in an innovative and engaging format? Join the upcoming Youth Climate LAB!
On 20 February, we will launch this peer-learning discussion series for young people who will explore together green issues and co-design practical solutions for them that can be implemented by interested stakeholders.
Register to this launch event to discover more about the topic and the format of the upcoming pilot season.
Education for Climate TALKS
We are launching a series of interviews with members of our community to contribute to the necessary debate on learning for the green transition and sustainable development and provide food for thought.
We will be talking about science of course, but also about educational projects and techniques, educational policies and concrete achievements, giving the floor to experts, teachers and students.
We initiate this series with Giacomo Grassi, JRC senior scientist, to learn more about the COP27.
Your comments and suggestions are most welcome. Let’s TALK!
Listen to the first Education for Climate TALK
Featured challenge
Join the science adventure to map climate change at seas & coast!
Become a marine geographer by exploring and mapping water surface temperatures around you!
Come onboard to create together a map of all measurings and showcase the effects of climate change in a visual and interactive way usable in classrooms.
Teachers and students of all levels are welcome to participate. Simply measure water temperatures, fill in the online form (https://ee.kobotoolbox.org/x/RlixrmI2), and submit your data by 31/03/2023. No internet connection needed for data collection.
Let us know if you plan to participate and what support you need to run this challenge. Join the journey and be a part of this exciting science adventure!

New Onboarding Sessions
To keep the community a safe place, we have implemented a new welcome routine. From now on, new community members will need to move through an easy verification process: in 3 clicks, fill in the profile, meet us every week in a short drop-in session and let us know community preferences.
Community registration will stay always open, but newly registered users will only be able to contribute to the community after this verification process.
We are looking forward to welcoming everybody and to an enriched community experience!
(28/02/2022) Q&A: Building the Community
Come to our Q&A sessions to have the opportunity to ask us anything!
This monthly running Q&A series groups all community dynamics that make up our education for environmental sustainability social community fabric (platform functionalities, participatory challenges, etc.)
Any questions ahead of time? Comment in the event page.

Can GreenComp help learners behave more sustainably?
A new policy report from the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission tackles this question.
Many of you had time to have a look at the European sustainability competence framework (GreenComp) since its publication in January 2022. But you might still be wondering whether or not the green competences which are listed and defined in GreenComp do make a difference for learners and help them behave in a more sustainable manner.
This policy reports shows with evidence that it is the case.
Teaching the Future Report
The first result of the Teaching the Future project has been published. It provides some recommendation on curriculum and pedagogical guidelines related to climate, citizenship and digital teaching that might interest you.
Sections also examine the use of innovative teaching and learning methods and illustrate participative approaches to involve pupils in active citizenship activities.
