Global Climate change is here and its impacts on people and resources are expected to intensify in the near future. If we do not act now against climate change, global temperatures are expected to increase 4°C or more by the time today’s teenagers reach their 80s. Relevant announcements include the Commission’s European Green Deal that urges towards the creation of a new European Competence Framework on climate change and sustainable development; the Paris Agreement which highlights the importance of climate change education and the UN climate regime which urges upon the development of educational and training programmes on climate change. According to UNESCO (n.d.), education is a critical element of the international response to climate change having a more than ever critical role to play in developing a generation capable of boosting green growth.Even though a great number of schools around the world have already started to tackle the difficult issue of climate change in classrooms, these attempts are still very immature and mainly focus on teaching facts on how the planet is changing. Of course, knowing the reasoning and impacts of climate change is of great importance but is only one aspect of climate change education. Today’s students will be dealing with tomorrow’s climate change consequences and, therefore, schools need to be at the forefront of preparing them with the relevant skills for developing climate change solutions. An effective educational approach shall be put in place endeavouring to foster greater engagement across disciplines and embed climate change in different school subjects with a particular focus on the social dimensions of climate change.STUDENTS IN CLIMATE ACTION project comes as a response to all the above since it seeks to strengthen the capacity of primary and secondary education to provide quality climate change education by introducing an innovative climate change-related curriculum that integrates the educational approaches of environmental activism, civil discourse, project-based learning and gamification. In this line of reasoning, this project aims at:1) developing an innovative curriculum for primary and secondary education students with the aim to increase their awareness about climate change and enable them to develop transversal and green-related skills.2) offering students highly engaging gaming experiences around the issue of climate change through the STUDENTS IN CLIMATE ACTION board game that shall be created.3) developing a training program for educators to enable them to apply the STUDENTS IN CLIMATE ACTION curriculum while simultaneously further advancing their professional development in youth and environmental activism pedagogies and in the effective use of civil discourse in the classroom. 4) promoting a culture of social mindfulness and responsibility regarding climate change since the earlier students are educated about environmental issues, the more sustainable their behaviors will become. The STUDENTS IN CLIMATE ACTION project is comprised of 2 primary schools seeking to integrate environmental and climate change practices in their settings, 2 research organisations competent on the development of innovative teaching and learning practices in schools, an environmental NGO active on lobbying and environmental awareness-raising and one academic partner competent on the field of sustainable development, environmental protection and climate change. STUDENTS IN CLIMATE ACTION shall have a distinct impact on young children’s awareness and attitudes towards social action and responsibility and public participation. The program aims at facilitating teachers educating students about the value of voluntarism and cooperation with other members of the community in order to find collective solutions to the problem of climate change and environmental degradation.Through the STUDENTS IN CLIMATE ACTION program young learners will develop important social and environmental activist skills that can inspire more active and responsible civic identities, while teachers will be facilitated to include civic education elements in their existing curricula. Finally, the STUDENTS IN CLIMATE ACTION project will have an impact on the formation of social and environmentally responsible attitudes and behaviours which are closely related to climate change issues.Climate change constitutes a significant problem within the wider spectrum of environmental concerns. It is anticipated that through our program all participants will not only become aware of climate change, but they will also become motivated to act productively for its prevention and reduction.
