Man-made climate change has been more visible than at any time before. Surveys conducted among students in Amsterdam showed that most youngsters are now convinced that climate change is actually occurring and caused by humans. However, young people vary widely in their opinions about the severity of the effects of climate change, and many think that climate change is more of a problem for other places and for the far future.
EduChange 2.0 project builds upon the experience gained from the first EduChange project and departs from the point that students in teacher education tend to prefer using mobile and web tools, and other means of ICT (e.g. Geographical Information Systems and derived software) to create their own teaching and awareness-raising activities about climate change. This project aims to continue collaborating to promoting active citizenship through innovative geoparticipatory methods/tools to tackle environmental issues.
