ONLINE WORKSHOP/ Dealing with the people factor challenges of climate change

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)

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.
