Looking the gorilla in the eye: effective climate education

In recent years the 800 pound gorilla that is the climate crisis has walked into your classroom; this workshop will help you look the gorilla in the eye. In this workshop Gareth will share some recent work that proposes to teachers several important dimensions of effective climate education. You ‘will learn by doing’ as together we explore the linkages between some classic outdoor education activities, energy education, and climate change. As Dr. David Orr famously said: “Hope is a verb with its sleeves rolled up,” and you’ll take away new approaches to help your own students roll up their sleeves, take climate action – and feel hope for the future.
