TAKE IT Real-world education to boost climate change adaptation

Description

We all share the same planet and will share the same climate future!Climate change needs behaviour change!Speaking at a high-level event organised jointly by UNESCO and UNFCCC, Sławomir Mazurek, Deputy Minister of Environment of the COP24 (December 2018), said: “I am glad that climate action and education are so visible at this COP, and that the room is packed, showing the great interest in education.” HRH Princess Abze Djigma, Special Envoy of the President of Burkina Faso for Climate Change and SDGs, said: “The solutions to climate change are right there. We should not wait for them because we are the solutions and education is critical.”No doubt that an absolutely central foundation for raising global climate action is to ensure that everyone in the world knows both the impacts of climate change and the way how one can adapt. In short, we need to understand the transformation that must be made, and equip ourselves with the necessary competences, in order to make it. However, the complexity and uncertainty of the topic requires a new approach for effective climate change education. TAKE IT partners from Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Spain and the UK, have embraced this challenge aware that changing behaviour is notoriously difficult, but believing that education is a powerful tool in empowering individual, boosting voluntary action and helping people through the transition so they understand and accept climate change, and take appropriate adaptation action. To achieve this, partners’ organisations identified a gap in current adult education offer, and decided to joint efforts and develop cutting-edge and meaningful resources aiming to offer opportunities for real-world education to boost appropriate climate adaptation action. TAKE IT addresses various Erasmus+ horizontal and adult education priorities, and has the following objectives:Develop a culture of change and sustainability, creating the background for effective climate change education to boost behavioural change and better adaptation to our changing worldUpskill the educators with science and social-based competences that has the required impacts in how they can empower individuals and drive appropriate climate adaptation actionEmpower individual with personally relevant and meaningful information, focused on achievable behavioural changes and appropriate climate adaptation action.Provide a set of innovative and cutting-edge training resources, available in digital and open media, to empower educators and individualBoost European dimension and cooperation, through the participation of nine countries representing various regions who are experiencing climate change´s impacts and organisations of two transnational experience exchanges with educational peers Engage associated partners, experts and key stakeholders in development, validation, dissemination and mainstreaming actions, through the local working groups and multiplier eventsTAKE IT will generate a circular benefit effect and impact and targets- over 180 adult educators - over 180 individual/citizens- over 300 stakeholders (AE providers, other educational providers, local authorities, NGOs, civil society organisations, academic and research community, the public sectors, the private sector, media, sectors, other sectoral bodies, umbrella associations, other relevant institutions that facilitate and support education and civic participation, medial partners)- 20 associated partners from all participating countries, including both public and private, training and education providers, NGOs, experts, research institutes, civil organisations, professional associations, social partners, networks, regional and national bodies.
