Description
If climate change education is honest, it is scary. We have a moral obligation to be honest in this work. Fear does not necessarily lead to either paralysis or to clinical depression. Fear is often motivating. It is likely at least a subtle factor underlying why you're reading this now.
What will you gain?
Strategies and resources for teaching about climate change that address concerns about climate anxiety and other negative emotions in an engaging way.
Who should apply?
Any interested educator.
