Exploring Contemporary Crises and Issues through Global Citizenship Education: Climate Justice, the missing voices

Date: Wednesday 19 March, 12.30-2pm Location: Online via Zoom

Join us for the first session of our 2025 webinar series: "Exploring Contemporary Crises and Issues through Global Citizenship Education". The session kicking off this year's series is entitled "Climate Justice, the missing voices" and will be held on Wednesday, 19th March, online from 12.30-2.00pm.
Climate change is one of the major crises of our times. As educators, we seek to address gaps in our knowledge, acknowledge bias in our understanding and spotlight voices from diverse groups affected by the issue. This webinar will equip educators to address some of these gaps when we educate about Climate Change and Climate Justice. What are the consequences and risks for women and marginalized communities to be left out of the picture? How should their experience of environmental collapse guide our Development Education/Global Citizenship Education programmes?
We will introduce concepts of “intersectional feminism”, climate justice, and the differential impact of climate change on marginalised communities. Speakers will include those working on climate justice from a variety of perspectives to illustrate and translate these abstract notions into a real-life context locally and globally. Participants will be equipped with more perspectives on climate justice and a deeper understanding of the experience of those directly affected by climate breakdown. Participants will also have time dedicated to a Question & Answer session.
