Description
The project is aimed at increasing public awareness on the issues of international development cooperation and on the 17 Sustanaible Development Goals. The Covid-19 pandemic has further highlighted the relationship between human being and the environment, making it necessary to take action to increase young peoples awareness and knowledge of the effects of anthropogenic impact on climate change, particularly on individual and collective health, focusing not only on the local situation but also on the relationship between the North and South of the World, distant but closely related contexts. Working with students and teachers, both in-and-out of school, is a crucial step in fostering knowledge and competence on these issues for the new generations, in particular by acting concretely on the main existing problems: - lack of knowledge of the impacts of climate change among students, especially in lower and upper secondary school, - lack of opportunities for active citizenship experiences both inside and outside school, - difficult for teachers to plan and implement Civic Education on global citizenship issues starting from the focus on climate change due to the lack of ad hoc training, - the need to innovate teaching methodologies, - the need for a better coordination with public entities responsible for environmental education. Thanks to actions to be piloted in Milan, Busto Arsizio, Saronno, Palermo, Rome, Brindisi, Lecce together with the development of a National E-learning training package and the organisation of capacity building, information and awareness raising events on the whole Italian territory, “CLIC - Climate and Citizenship” proposal is able to reach its Specific Objective: Young students are aware of the risks and effects on individual and community health related to climate change in Italy and in the world and are able to commit themselves for environmental sustainability. The project stems from FADVs years of experience in global citizenship education, but is rooted on a solid consortium, each with strong and deep-rooted expertise: two Corporates, WeSchool (leader in the e-Learning sector for students and teachers) and Rred (Publishing), Il Sole Onlus (Lombardy NGO), ARPA Lombardia; DCS, Terra! and BB (non-profit associations committed to global citizenship education and international cooperation and solidarity). The intervention is based on 3 strategic axes: 1) Fostering 7.500 students (lower secondary) learning and skills to act on climate change with sustainability actions, through the development of an innovative and digital training for learners and teachers. In collaboration with WeSchool, an innovative teaching and learning pathway has developed, which, thanks to the training accreditation of the Ministry of Education, has included not only in the curricula of 100 schools for the Civic Education teaching, but also in the recognised training of teachers. 2) Providing upper secondary students with concrete tools to understand and actively participate in the actions implemented by the Administration to respond to climate change. Through Civic Monitoring, an innovative Citizen Science methodology, and the launch of Monitoring groups in 20 upper secondary schools, students participate and learn tools to exercise their right of citizenship. The collaboration with ARPA Lombardy prepares teachers on the public environmental monitoring and active citizenship opportunities for schools and guides the development of a capacity building for teachers that innovates the training implemented by ISPRA/SNPA network, expanding the contents integrating environmental education with global citizenship education.3) Supporting students competences to act as agents of change with their peer group through non-formal educational practices based on writing, comics and Social Reading.
