YOUNG GENERATIONS

Fighting climate change may well represent one of the greatest adventures for
young people during the next generations! To be found here after are
pedagogic resources for teachers to use in their classes to treat the question
of climate change in a creative way, games for children to get acquainted with
the problem, but also links to networks for those schools who want to become
climate friendly.

Listen to the young generations claim: we are not done yet with
climate change policy!
The Global Youth Climate movement sends a clear message to the world
leaders after Copenhagen: the work to protect the climate has a long way to
go.

Cape Farewell initiatives on climate change
The Cape Farewell Foundation believes in combining science, art and other
subject areas to educate young people on climate change and inspire them to
engage creatively on the issue through cross-curricular activities. The
foundation website provides free downloadable resources for teachers (lessons
plans, DVDS...).

Initiative Schools at university (SAUCE)
The project SAUCE contributes to generate climate change awareness and
conscious behaviours by developing energy education in primary and
secondary schools. Seven European universities have joined forces to develop
and promote university programs for schools as an innovative educational tool
aiming to make younger generations adopt intelligent energy behaviour. Once
or twice a year, those universities will invite thousands of children
to attend a five-day on-campus program, including an introductory event for
teachers.
