Enhancing resilience and fostering a perspective of hope in climate change education
The project Hopeful and resilience perspective in climate change education to inspire (promote) action competence (HARP) aims to address key challenges related to CCE content, communication and learning strategies. The project therefore highlights the need to explore the emotional aspects of climate change and how these emotions influence engagement in climate action.
Team "Success Stories"
We explore what makes climate change education successful in high schools. Our research examines students' emotions (anxiety, hope, resilience) and their link to action competence, teaching strategies, and factors driving teachers’ success.
Team "Universities"
We examine how climate change education integrates socio-economic perspectives at universities. We analyze the inclusion of heterodox economic topics in curricula, mapping case studies from economics programs in the Czechia and Austria.
Team "Emotions"
We assess how different approaches support university students' emotional resilience in the face of climate change. Through in-depth interviews and therapeutic methods, we evaluate strategies like gestalt therapy, biosynthesis, and deep ecology to enhance well-being.
