Responding to the climate and environmental crisis through history and geography

6 hours 30 minutes
Description
In recent years, the climate crisis has become increasingly urgent and apparent. The Centre for Climate Change and Sustainability Education was founded at UCL in 2022. Their 2024 report highlights the responsibility of all curriculum subjects to educate our young people about climate change, but how do we fit this into an already crowded curriculum? How do we make this teaching meaningful and impactful without becoming just another thing to do? How do we ensure that what we are teaching will support our future generations to build a more sustainable future?
This one-day partnership event from the Historical Association and the Royal Geographical Society will support history and geography teachers to develop your understanding and confidence to weave climate education effectively into the taught curriculum. The day will be full of practical ideas to take away.
Price: £150 HA/RGS member, £195 non-member (all prices are inclusive of VAT and booking fees).
There are a small number of concessionary tickets available for teachers who may face barriers in attending this CPD event. If you would otherwise be unable to attend this event without a concessionary ticket, please contact us at events@history.org.uk for more information.
