explore 3 insights from neuroscience and psychology that can help to understand how to build climate and nature action in schools

In this workshop for teachers, non-formal educators and leaders of educational institutions, we will explore 3 insights from neuroscience and psychology that can help to understand how to build climate and nature action in schools: How can you avoid or bypass the growing polarisation of climate action? How do people change -or not? How do we bring people along on a journey of building whole-institution approaches to climate and nature action?

📣 Facilitated by neuroscientist & science communicator

Dr Kris De Meyer (Director, UCL Climate Action Unit) & Dr Jonathan Mille (Research Fellow in Climate Engagement, UCL Climate Action Unit)

Tuesday, 18th November

Participatory Methods

Citizens and community members often feel like they don’t have much control over the decisions that get made by governments and even more so in issues like climate.

Cooling Down Brussels: Collaborative Solutions for Urban Heat and Social Equity

When starting LEVERS[1] , we had to pick a topic for the Brussels pilot that was interesting, appealing, and close to our hearts. We wanted to do something that would help disadvantaged groups, something that would be useful for the people of Brussels. Something that would allow us to show the benefits of co-creation. When checking the thermometer, we found that topic.
