Climate change is one of the main global challenges of our time, with European countries showing a clear interest and willingness to develop tools and strategies to counteract its negative impacts on society.
However, the perception of climate change still has many critical points: despite the increasing visibility of extreme events, climate change is often perceived as an abstract concept, difficult to relate to everyday life, leading to a lack of action and appropriate measures to address it.
The “Climattiviamoci” project stems from the difficulties in communication, awareness-raising, and engagement of civil society, particularly young people. Schools are the best place to achieve goals related to communicating climate risk. Schools represent a living laboratory to initiate a real process of change starting with the younger generations, addressing climate change from various perspectives: science, mathematics, language arts, and social studies.
The general aim of the project is to provide tools and skills to teachers, professors, and young students in secondary schools to raise awareness, inform, and educate them on climate change.
