Ecopedagogy for Beginners: Putting Climate Change Education Into Action
In this course, we blended theory and practical examples to take a closer look at ecopedagogy as a practice with an essential role in times of ecological climate crisis. We looked at how ecopedagogy is defined and conceptualised before diving deeply into examples of ecopedagogy in practice. We looked at how ecopedagogy is a route towards enacting the missions of learning for sustainability and Education for Sustainable Development that goes beyond business-as-usual approaches.
