Online event
What are the principles that should underpin the way climate change and sustainability are taught in schools?
About this event
The UCL Centre for Climate Change and Sustainability Education launched in April this year. Its mission is to transform the UK’s approach to teaching climate change and sustainability in schools by providing outstanding, research-informed and free professional development to all teachers and school leaders.
On 9 June, Public First published a report outlining the results of research commissioned by the Centre to inform the early development of its work. Join us on Monday 4 July to hear an expert panel discuss the implications of that report for the teaching of climate change and sustainability in schools and specifically the priorities and principles that should underpin the work of the new Centre.
Confirmed panellists are:
Jess Tipton, Head of Youth Networks for the UK Schools Sustainability Network at the environmental charity Global Action Plan.
Pim Sullivan-Tailyour, a Y13 youth representative for UK School Sustainability Network and works with Force of Nature.
Lucy Ellis , school improvement partner at The Charter Educational Trust based in Southwark, London, a family of 6 primary and secondary schools.
Naheeda Maharasingam, Headteacher of Rathfern primary school.
Professor Mark Maslin is Professor of Earth System Science at UCL.
Dr Lizzie Rushton, Associate Professor and Research Lead, UCL Centre for Climate Change and Sustainability Education.
