Klimaatmars Back To the climate 2021

Climate in your classroom

Do you want to work on climate justice at school?
Free space (Artevelde University College) and 11.11.11. developed two educational packages together. One with a focus on migration and one with a focus on gender. Let your students research, debate and think of actions and put the climate theme on the agenda.

Are you a teacher in the 4th, 5th or 6th year of secondary education? Do you want your students to gain insight into the causes and broad consequences of the climate crisis? Do you want them to take action themselves, in a participatory way?

Get started with our educational tools around climate & gender (*New*) and climate & migration. 

You will receive access to the downloads after you to registration form below. We offer this teaching material for free, thanks to funding from the European Union. That is why we ask for minimal contact details for evaluation and monitoring. For each lesson, you can download a zip folder with all documents (sheets, manual, photos, PPT, infographics, ...)

Educational tool – what can you expect?

The tool aims to support teachers to To train and inspire 15-18 year old students to become climate change makers who encourage their peers and policy makers to fight for climate justiceWe based ourselves on the advices of the Flemish Youth Council (2022) to communicate action-oriented about the climate crisis to young people.

We offer a guideline to support teachers in providing students with knowledge and insights about the consequences of the climate crisis, with a specific focus on the link with gender inequality and migration. How to engage in dialogue and how to take action. The packages are each built up from 3 parts, according to the principles of Education for sustainable development.

Lesson package structure

Part 1: Investigative 

Causes and consequences of gender inequality/migration in relation to climate change 

What is climate justice about? 
What is gender inequality? How does climate change exacerbate inequalities, such as gender inequality? Can gender equality be a lever for more climate justice and vice versa?

How does climate change cause migration? What are the consequences?

Part 2: Together 

In debate about different opinions and points of view

How do we look at this ourselves? What is our role in this? Whose responsibility is this? 

Part 3: Action-oriented 

Roll up your sleeves: devising and exploring various actions 

What are possible actions? How can we do our part?

Lesson 1 is necessary before you can move on to lesson 2 or lesson 3. In addition, all combinations are possible. Lessons can be given within the same subject or different subjects.

Practical

Duration: Each part takes 1 lesson (optionally multiple lessons) of 50 minutes.

Target audience: 4th, 5th, 6th year secondary education (flow/dual/work finality). Differentiation options are described in the guideline.

Students' prior knowledge: A basic knowledge of climate change (e.g. what is climate change, what are greenhouse gases, ...). This package does not go into the causes and mechanism of climate change in more depth. If necessary, we refer to other educational packages, or we advise watching an introductory short documentary with the class (the Climate Debate - Nic Balthazar).

Co-creative process thanks to

In collaboration with Vrijplaats (Artevelde University College) we are developing two educational tools. Students, specialists, teachers and lecturers designed together within FREEDOM an educational tool around climate & migration. The layout was done by Jana Van Himpe.
