The Climate Change Ambassadors Methodology is an innovative educational
framework designed to empower young people to become proactive agents of
change in the fight against climate change and disinformation. It was
developed by a consortium of 4 non-governmental organizations working in the
youth field in France, Latvia, Romania and Spain, under the framework of the
CERV project DisinformACTION - Countering Climate Change Disinformation
through youth E-participation (CERV-2022-CITIZENS-CIV-101081183).
The methodology has been tested with students and teachers in all 4 countries
and improved continually through facilitator feedback, teacher reports,
student questionnaires and a Methodology Improvement Bootcamp. It integrates
best practices in environmental education and digital literacy, focusing on
the intersection of climate science and media literacy. This approach ensures
that participants are not only informed about climate issues but also equipped
to combat misinformation and advocate for sustainable solutions in their
communities.
Who can use it?
