Summer School: Working with Emotions in Climate Change Education

Join our free Summer School on Working with Emotions in Climate Change Education from September 3–7, 2025, in Brno! Explore how emotions shape climate education, gain insights from experts like Marie Ojala, and connect with others passionate about environmental learning—all in a beautiful natural setting, free of charge.

Climate change and other environmental challenges pose new questions for education—ones that demand more attention. How should we address emotions in climate education? Can we afford to ignore negative emotions, or should we actively integrate emotional reflection into learning? And what support do educators need to teach climate topics effectively?

We are excited to welcome Maria Ojala, a leading expert in socio-ecological resilience and climate psychology, who will speak on the role of hope in climate change education.
