I have just finished an eTwinning project in which students had to create a city of the future. They used their knowledge regarding sustainability, being green, recycling and use of AI in our way of living. Students used a series of apps, their knowledge of English and also researched for information on the subject matter. It was a really useful experience for them!

Climate change has a major focus in our classroom. We did an experiment with the students on how the soil is polluted with liquid pollutants and how quickly they spread. The students were concentrated and realized all the project activities with interest. They were surprised by the speed with which the soil can be contaminated with harmful substances and what happens when they come into contact.

In our school, we organize a "Sustainability Week" during which all disciplines work in a coordinated way. This initiative aims to promote environmental education and raise awareness about the themes of the 2030 Agenda. During this week, we engage in various outdoor activities and gardening projects, involving students and teachers in a practical and interdisciplinary approach to learning.

Climate change topics in classroom.

In project-based learning in my biology classroom, I implement experiments to study climate change topics such as greenhouse effect, acid rain, ozone layer depletion vs. UV-light; students also analyze online data to understand trends. These methods highly enhance learning and engagement. Combined by the models that predict future climate change impacts and active debates these methods improve knowledge and critical thinking skills, foster a sense of responsibility and motivation to address climate issues.

Our school takes part in Erasmus projects about environment and sustainability.

We work on posters, online videos and podcasts. We also include this topic in our school radio programmes.

There are recycling bins all around school and we have a recycling point in the school hall (batteries, paper, palstic, glass, organic).

We have workshops where our children make arts and crafts using wasted materials.

Our greengarden is part of our school life and kids love it. We also have workshops with experts, visits to recycling centres and other environmental activities (visits to Natural parks, caves, forest areas...).

Our school is member of the National Institute of Meterology, so we have a weather station and our kids send information through the national web about temperature, humidity and barometric pressure everyday.

These are some of the activitites we do.

# data[].attributes.body
We often create posters about the environment and how we can protect it in English lessons. This way they can not only improve their English language skills but also gain more information about the world around them.

We have recycling bins at school that we encourage to use correctly.

The video inspired me and gave me some ideas and I would like to implement them into my teaching.

I develop in every academic year at least one eTwinning project in environmental topic. In these projects is a constant that topic approach need to be interdisciplinary. We often create posters, infographics, presentations and included these works in art exhibitions (physical or digital one). Also, we often create new things from wastes which are exhibited or sent to different contests. They present the achieved products to their abroad partners (using English). In Forest Month (15 March-15 April) we are organizing at least a planting trees activity in an area where is a urge (Forest District orienting us to the right area to plant baby trees).

In my classroom activity, I have approached climate change from different angles: maths (calculate carbon footprint), social science (who is affected by climate change more), geography, biology (extinction of species).

As a history teacher I discussed with my students about the migrations from the beginning of the Middle Ages. One of the causes of the migrations was the cooling of the climate in northern Europe. We discussed whether the current climate changes would put us in a similar situation.

Is the most efficient type of education. Children learns an experiences,in many ways and means, about the same thing. We use it in our school and children became more active and interested during the activities. Plus, there are significant differences in their behaviour.

Climate Change and STEM Education in Classrooms Erasmus

# data[].attributes.body
I am currently participating in an Erasmus project on climate change. This is a multi-disciplinary project where there are mathematics activities, biology, geography, English language and even physical education. It is important to show children that they can make a change and every subject can be connected to climate change.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing humanity today. In order to address this challenge, it is essential to educate learners of all ages about climate change and its impacts.

One effective approach to climate change education is to use multidisciplinary approaches. This means that teaching about climate change should incorporate knowledge from a variety of scientific disciplines, such as biology, chemistry, physics, geography, sociology, and economics.

This approach has many benefits:

It provides learners with a more holistic understanding of the issue of climate change. Climate change is a complex issue that is affected by many factors. Teaching about climate change from a multidisciplinary perspective helps learners to understand the different dimensions of the problem and the interconnected factors that cause it.

It helps learners to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Multidisciplinary education encourages learners to examine climate change from different perspectives and to critically evaluate the information they are presented with. This helps them to develop the skills they need to think critically and to find solutions to complex problems.

It fosters a sense of responsibility and engagement. Understanding the scientific causes and impacts of climate change can motivate learners to take action to address the problem. Multidisciplinary education can help learners to understand how they can contribute to climate change solutions in their own lives.

There are a number of ways to implement multidisciplinary approaches to climate change education. Here are a few ideas:

Create interactive lessons that incorporate activities from different scientific disciplines. For example, learners could conduct experiments to study the greenhouse effect, analyze data to understand climate change trends, or create models to predict future climate change impacts.

Invite experts from different fields to speak to learners. This can help learners to gain a more well-rounded understanding of the climate change issue and to see how it affects different sectors of society.

Encourage learners to conduct their own research on climate change. This can help them to develop research and critical thinking skills and to gain a deeper understanding of a particular climate change topic.

Use technology to make climate change education more engaging and interactive. There are many online tools and resources available that can be used to help learners learn about climate change in a fun and exciting way.

Connect climate change education to other subjects. Climate change can be integrated into a variety of subjects, such as English language arts, math, social studies, and the arts. This can help learners to understand how climate change affects different aspects of their lives.

It is important to note that multidisciplinary climate change education is not an easy task. It requires careful planning and implementation, as well as collaboration between educators from different disciplines. However, the benefits of this approach are worth the effort. Multidisciplinary education can help learners to develop the knowledge, skills, and values they need to become informed and active citizens in a world facing climate change.

Conclusion

Climate change is one of the most important issues facing humanity today. Multidisciplinary education can play a vital role in educating learners of all ages about climate change and its impacts. By drawing on the diversity of knowledge and perspectives that different scientific disciplines offer, multidisciplinary education can help learners to develop the understanding, skills, and values they need to become informed and active citizens in a world facing climate change.

I've found this video very inspiriting. I think that I can introduce the activity showing the concept of "Fast fashion style". Many people today compulsively buy from website or shops without thinking that many cheap articles came from factories that don't respect the environment releasing huge quantity of gases in the atmosphere. Then, I would introduce a debate in the classroom letting the students launch ideas about how to give a "second life" to clothes

I have found this video inspirational as I am currently preparing myself on teaching my students engaged in an approved Erasmus project on sustainability. As a teacher of English I have some limited experience of CLIL lessons and we did some project work on specific topics, but I am looking for a more holistic approach. Therefore I am very interested in this course.
