Climate Connect: Klimabildung und Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung: Was sind erforderliche Kompetenzen und welchen Beitrag kann die Schule leisten?

Information from the organiser

In the face of major social challenges, demands are often placed on the education system. The climate crisis, currently one of the greatest challenges facing humanity, is no exception. Schools and teachers should equip young people with the necessary skills, attitudes and motivation to tackle it. But how can climate-related skills be taught? What contribution can schools make to promoting climate-friendly attitudes and behaviour beyond teaching them? And to what extent should and may they influence this at all? In the fifth part of Climate Connect, we will shed light on the perspectives of empirical educational research on climate education and education for sustainable development and explore the possibilities and limits of the school's contribution.
