Purpose
Break the climate silence and encourage older people to recognise the connection between climate change and their lives. The project has two main objectives :
- integrate climate communication into everyday life and encourage exchange with and among older people through low-threshold and creative formats (such as quizzes, excursions, storytelling formats)
- develop practical materials and methods to support adult educators and make climate communication with older people more accessible and tangible in adult education.
Expected Outcomes
- Climate Hubs: Together with adult educators, low-threshold activities (e.g. excursions, games) based on the individual interests and concerns of participants are developed and tried out in “climate hubs”.
- Learning Communities of Practice: Exchange formats for adult educators are developed to strengthen them in their climate communication with older people and to encourage them to implement concrete activities.
- Communication and Transferability: We make our experiences and learnings accessible to others with a Collection of Climate Hubs methods and formats, a How-to Guide for people in the field of adult education and webinars.
AGE involvement
