A learning opportunity The International Conference about Global Warming has caused us all to understand the urgency of this crisis and to respond to it. As educators, we have a responsibility to organize opportunities for learning on a multi- and inter- disciplinary level, to adapt them to relevant, local contexts and to this end, to utilize teachers from the following disciplines: natural sciences, geography, civic studies, history, social science, economics, psychology, philosophy, the arts, languages, heritage studies and literature. This topic lends itself to active learning opportunities around a central theme about our world and to the development of our students’ skills in relation to scientific and global awareness, as well as critical and creative thinking. It encourages experiential learning, projects, and initiatives in all disciplines, not only in theory, but also in practice, including taking practical steps in both personal and social spheres. Climate Change Education Education about the climate represents a meaningful course in our collective ability to cope with climate change and its repercussions. It aims to imbue our students with the requisite knowledge, skills, and opinions so that they can make intelligent decisions about how to react to the crisis on a personal, local and global level. In addition to broadening their knowledge and awareness, it is vital to include experiential activities that answer a call to action and to provide emotional support, since managing extreme situations can cause anxiety and worry.
