LEVERS Ireland + Irish Sustainability Schools Network: Exploring Whole-School Approaches to Sustainability & Climate Action
- Ireland, TYPE, Workshop
What to Expect
On March 11th, the Irish Sustainability Schools Network (ISSN) invites educators in Ireland to an interactive online workshop led by Dr Mairéad Hurley, Assistant Professor in Science & Society Education, Trinity College Dublin, and LEVERS Principal Investigator.
This workshop marks the start of an exciting research partnership between the LEVERS project and the ISSN, through which we will explore innovative whole-school approaches to Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). Together, we’ll co-design evidence-based recommendations for effective multi-stakeholder partnerships to drive real change in Irish schools.
We’ll kickstart the “vision” phase of our project using a systemic design approach. Through collaboration and discussion, participants will:
🌟 Define a Guiding Star – our long-term vision for sustainability and climate change education in Ireland
⭐ Identify a Near Star – tangible outcomes we aim to achieve in the next year through this partnership, taking a meaningful step toward our guiding star.
Why Join?
✅ Help shape the national conversation by sharing insights on sustainability and climate action in your school/organisation.
✅ Collaborate in small breakout groups to explore the system and to speculate about possible and preferable futures for ESD in Ireland.
✅ Gain insights from the LEVERS project, including research from neuroscience and psychology on common barriers to climate action.
✅ Contribute to a shared vision for ESD in Ireland and play a key role in developing practical guidelines for schools, educators, and policymakers
This is an opportunity to influence the future of sustainability and climate change education in Ireland – have your say! 🚀
Open to educators at all educational levels (including non-formal) based in Ireland, as well as collaborators from other sectors.
