Explore arts-based processes for teaching and learning about climate change
Next offering to be announced
If you're interested in expanding your repertoire for teaching about climate change and want to provide your students creative avenues for taking climate action, Climate Creative is for you. Climate change is a transdisciplinary issue; the arts can help to reconnect and integrate distinct content areas and knowledge.
Educators of any discipline are invited to join as we explore arts-based processes for reflection, connection, and learning. Working in partnership with artists from Shelburne Craft School, facilitators will offer hands-on experience with different media and support for implementation of student-centered projects. The Climate Creative spring exhibition will provide a celebratory venue for student and teacher artwork.
No prior arts experience is necessary!
What You'll Learn
- Explore how to process emotions related to climate change with students
- View and discuss the work of different climate artists
