clim@venture 1.5 - the mission!
Clim@venture 1.5 is a project that fosters action-oriented climate education in schools across Europe, designed and implemented by almost there (Sweden), bachmann-education (Germany), Italia che Cambia (Italy) and Forum ViA (Austria), co-financed by the European Union in the context of the Erasmus Plus - KA2 - Cooperation Partnership. You can find us on the EU-Educatios-Platform as well: European School Education Platform (europa.eu). The full program is linked here.

Why clim@ventures are developed?
Students are supposed to
bring climate knowledge and experience from the classroom into communities, find best-practice-examples for climate-protection by exploring their region or Europe, interview inspiring and active people with great responsibility, reflect on inspiring (new) job careers. They exchange with other pupils and schools about their experiences in Europe and contribute to a public network full of "clim@venture-stories” on social media ot on the school-media.
What kind of adventures will be possible?
things-to-know-before-you-start
The Clim@venture 1.5 isadventure-based learning for the 1.5-degree climate goal. Empower your students with essential climate knowledge and skills aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through immersive experiences, students tackle real-world challenges related to climate change, fostering critical thinking and collaboration. Tailor the program to fit your curriculum with flexible modules, covering topics from energy to journalism and field exploration.

They will conduct experiments using common household and inexpensive ingredients. They will experiment independently in small groups and document their results with video and in pictures. They will learn how to tell exciting science stories and how important facts are for understanding processes such as climate change. Conversely, they come to grips with how great the danger is of stirring up resentment against necessary measures with false scientific facts.
After conducting interviews with politicians, company executives, or project founders, students will reflect on potential career paths through conversations with these individuals. By incorporating their personal values and interests, students will tailor their career choices. Adopting a "green perspective" during this process may reveal new insights. Encouraging students to conduct these interviews with external adults could involve asking familiar adults about their views on climate change and its significance in their professional environment.
sharing@venture
While doing the clim@venture, students are interacting with others. Ideally, they have online or in-person-meetings with students from other countries and find out about similarities and differences when they explore their environment "with green glasses". They discuss what works as well as obstacles on the way to a sustainable region. They inspire and encourage each other to become changemakers themselves.
