Welcome to Taking on the Climate Crisis with Social Change!

Introduction

This 3 week course comprises 9 one-hour activities. In these activities, we will approach the climate crisis from perspectives of natural sciences, sustainability sciences and the humanities.

Our vision is for us (learners and educators) to work together to build solutions to the climate crisis. By doing so, we hope to become better ancestors and build better futures.

Recommended reading

The course is self-contained, but we know that many learners will want to learn more. If you are one of them, we warmly recommend reading Under the Sky We Make by Kimberly Nicholas. You can find out more about this excellent book and order your own copy here.
