  Climate Badges for repairing the schools

  9:00 amVerkko

  How can we acquire know-how in schools about interdisciplinary and complex subjects like climate? Could we at the same time repair the schools to be more climate-friendly and sustainable: structure, teaching and attitudes.

  In this webinar you will hear about our Open Badge Factory -climate badges that are made for students and organisations to show and acquire climate know-how – and not just any know-how. We wanted to concentrate on the community level climate action instead of individual or global action. We’ll need all levels of action, but the community level is both efficient and hopeful, especially in schools. That’s why we created the Repair Manual for Carbon-Neutral Schools.

  The badges are a great way to show a student’s already existing know-how for example from NGO’s that they can show in schools too. Or they can use our exercises with full of action and power of change. We have also badges for the whole school community to show the schools commitment and skills in climate action. The school community can plan their vision of a carbon-neutral future, map their emissions and choose the best route for them. Together their plan their road map for a carbon-neutral future.

  These badges were made in a project called Climate Upper Secondary Schools (Ilmastolukiot) in Finland and they have been tested in pilot schools for over a  year now. Join the webinar and listen how climate action can be a common goal for different school subjects and a useful and practical thing to so in schools. Together we can build a better future.
