Course objectives
Climate change and other environmental problems bring new and important challenges to education, which have not yet received sufficient attention. How to work with emotions on topics in which an emotional response is a frequent and, in a certain sense, a necessary response? Can we ignore negative emotions in the educational process? How can we connect deeper work with emotions to the current or future educational process? What do educators demand in their efforts for good climate education? These are all questions that we want to help solve at our summer school Working with Emotions in Climate Education. If you are interested in environmental and climate education and their emotional dimensions, our summer school is just for you. The summer school will take place from September 3 to 7, 2025.
