About

The project addresses two of the most urgent challenges in EU:

• creating new, much more attractive and innovative science learning in secondary schools
• engaging the young generation in climate change prevention and preparing them to act on climate change in the near and far future.

Climate change engagement offers science education the most promising way to create fundamentally new and attractive ways for young teenagers to create deep interests in science, as climate change provides a wide range of scientific challenges, offers the young students a strong sense of relevance and importance – and at the same time offers them hitherto unseen opportunities to learn science through accomplishing important real-life missions in their communities.

This unique opportunity, this unique momentum should not be lost to EU science education innovation.

The project was one of the first projects in EU to use climate change engagement as a platform for innovative science learning. Doing this is a major accomplishment in itself and the outcomes of the project will be of great importance to secondary schools, science teachers and students from across EU.

Supporting this accomplishment is the fact that the project didn’t bring climate change action and science learning innovation together at a rhetoric or theoretical level. On the contrary, it built the results on students’ direct, real-life and mission- based accomplishments.

Thus, the ultimate mission of the Climate Change is to offer the results to help secondary schools and science teachers change traditional science teaching into science learning through science missions
