This project draws together educators seeking to engage school children to think critically about climate change, collaborate sustainably and act justly. It will directly reach 500 educators across France, Hungary, Italy and the UK, and create a high profile educational platform to reach many more. These educators will facilitate Model UN Climate Conferences with over 12,000 pupils. The results of this project will be shared with schools and local authorities and 1200 trainee teachers, and more broadly contribute to understanding of climate education. The project will be delivered in five phases.Phases 1-3 will focus on developing the knowledge and skills of teachers and educators to deliver more engaging climate education. There will be a specific focus on Climate Conferences as an educational framework and Community of Enquiry as method for critical thinking. This will be captured in the first project publication “Climate Action Guide for Teachers, Pupils and Policy Makers: Thinking critically, collaborating sustainable and acting justly”. Phase 4 will see the project theory be brought alive for children with Model UN Climate Conferences accompanying COP26 events in UK and Italy. Schools will be invited to share their local climate problems with international Climate Partners. Through the Climate Conferences schools will commit to carbon emission targets using the projects Carbon Calculator, and their partners will check their progress. This process will be a mixture of critical thinking, collaboration, and alternative decision making that enables pupil voice to be prioritised, and policy makers to become accountable. Crucially, training in this phase will focus on how to facilitate behaviour change for critical action on an individual, whole school and policy level.The International Climate Action Network project will be showcased in a Climate Action Guide, a Climate Conference Toolkit and Educational E Platform. This will be the subject of the dissemination phase – the project’s fifth and final phase. This phase is crucial as it will share the learning of educators, with trainees who will become the educators of tomorrow. Each partner will work closely with providers of formal education institutions to disseminate the Guide and Toolkit. This partnership is key to the sustainability of the project, as partners and universities will seek ways of embedding climate education into educator training.The activities will result in educators having increased skills to create safe spaces for children to actively engage with climate change issues locally, and support Climate Partners internationally. Trainee educators will become aware of the need for critical thinking and have access to a relevant Teacher Toolkit resource. Partners will have increased their capacity to train others, and developed networks to share their learning. Crucially, the creation of the Educational E Platform will reach teachers beyond the project beneficiaries.This chain of activities and results will impact on policy makers and promote thinking about how to make climate education engaging and meaningful. It will also increase the practice of good digital learning. In doing so it will better prepare marginalised children to take fuller role as 21st century global citizens.
