Dealing with the threatening challenges and profound changes that characterize our era requires the development of knowledge and skills to navigate the uncertainty and complexity of science as part of society and everyday life. How can we support school students in transforming the base of knowledge and experiences to face the ongoing crises and to activate a transformative dimension?
We address this broader question through a study framed within the Horizon 2020 project Science Education for Action and Engagement towards Sustainability (SEAS), aimed at promoting new forms of scientific literacy and skills to empower students to become agents of change by using innovative tools and methods that facilitate collaboration between schools and local communities facing sustainability challenges.
Giulia Tasquier, researcher in Science Education from University of Bologna, introduces some of the scientific underpinnings of climate change and launches the cCHALLENGE tool to four classes of lower secondary schools students in Italy in collaboration with their teachers and the cCHANGE partner.
