students to become agents of change for environmental and
climate action
An initiative promoting innovative environmental and climate change education in schools
GA number: 2023-1-FR01-KA220-SCH-000153897
Funded by: Erasmus+ Duration: 30/09/2023-29/09/2025
Challenge
Although the damaging effects of climate change are being felt worldwide and are expected to intensify in the coming decades, environmental and climate change education remains insufficiently integrated into the education system.
According to the School Education Getaway, only 4% of students feel they know a lot about climate change; 42% believe they have learned a little to nothing about it at school; and 57% are interested in learning more. This highlights the need for a more cross-curricular, competency-based approach in delivering environmental and climate change education that fosters critical thinking and civic activism.
Innovation
PATHWAYS aims to empower secondary school students to become agents of change for environmental and climate action by supporting the ongoing training of teachers and school leaders in environmental sustainability, fostering civic engagement within school communities, and promoting translational exchange of good practices.
By championing innovative experiential and project-based methods over teacher-based learning, PATHWAYS stimulates students’ problem-solving abilities and inspires them to take action.
