A climate change education project, TROP ICSU (https://tropicsu.org
[https://tropicsu.org]), has been initiated as a global project
[https://council.science/what-we-do/funding-programmes/icsu-grants-programme] with
generous support by the International Science Council
[https://council.science/]. It aims to improve awareness
of climate change and the science behind it among students by
developing teaching aids for teachers at the high school (secondary
school) and undergraduate (Bachelor's degree) levels. Our educational
resources, with detailed step-by-step descriptions to use them in
regular lectures (see: https://tropicsu.org/resources/lesson-plans/
[https://tropicsu.org/resources/lesson-plans/]), are designed in such
a way that in addition to bringing climate-related examples and case
STUDIES TO THE CORE CURRICULUM, they also enhance conceptual
UNDERSTANDING OF TOPICS IN THE BASIC SCIENCES, mathematics, social
science, and other disciplines. The latter would incentivize teachers
to use our resources.
To introduce this initiative, to provide information on the use of
such educational resources in the classroom, and to seek collaboration
in the creation of new TROP ICSU educational resources (lesson plans),
we have envisaged a workshop for experts in climate science and
climate change.
There are just 30 spots, preferences will be given to climate change
experts, pedagogy trained experts, or thos involved in teaching large
first year subjects and looking to integrate climate change more.
