Abstract

Abstract:

Drawing from the experiences of the CCC-CATAPULT project (www.ccc-catapult.org), the proposed session shares a tool to support youth visioning of transformative learning places for Climate Change Education (CCE). The CCC-CATAPULT project has explored the gaps between young people’s values and actions in the climate crisis. Incorporating a co-production approach and working with young people (15-18 years old), the project explores what CCE for societal transformation could look like. To capture the voice of young people, the CCC-CATAPULT team and their youth partners developed a narrative method that combined drawing personal maps and visioning with a process of dialogue and sharing. Twenty participatory workshops with young people were delivered in four city regions: Bristol, UK, Galway, Ireland Genoa, Italy and Tampere, Finland.

Goals:

(1) Share the narrative tool

(2) Provide an opportunity to try the method for participants to reflect their own unique learning places in the context of transformative CCE

(3) Share a gallery of youth ideas about transformative learning places from CCC-CATAPULT

Outcomes and vision: A collective reflection on the value of place-based, mapping and visioning processes as a reflective tool that can be shared, adapted and used to promote dialogue and action by others.
