In this bonus episode, Nina celebrates International Day of Education with former science teacher, Sarah Horley. Sarah is Programme Manager from Teachers for the Planet, a program that aims to improve climate change education. Teachers for the Planet are showcasing teacher-led climate change education solutions. Three of the teachers showcased in the Teachers for the Planet repository share their solutions with Nina.
First, secondary school teacher Astrid Hugli in Switzerland explains how she helps students understand whether common statements about climate change are true or false. Astrid also helps students understand how to reduce their carbon footprint. “Instead of just doing theory, I prefer to activate them with models and with experiments,” she tells Nina. Astrid uses a game with her students called Climate Fresk.
Next, Nina meets Nicole Swedlow from Mexico. Nicole tells Nina about an organisation called Compass Education, “a global network of educators who have come together because they believe that a flourishing world begins with sustainability in schools”. Compass Education’s tool helps teachers focus on systems thinking - an approach that acknowledges the interconnectedness of the challenges in the world.
Finally, Nina speaks to Scott Sinclair from a teacher’s network called TIDE - teachers in development education. They are asking: What are the educational implications of climate change? How is the world going to change and how will that affect schools? Teachers share their creativity and thoughts with each other through their magazine called the Elephant Times. Scott believes that teachers need to “connect and communicate in order to have a sense of the whole”.
