Building Hope and Resilience: HARP Year-End Insights

Dear readers,

As we approach the end of the year, we are excited to share a fresh batch of insights from our project Hopeful and Resilience Perspective in Climate Change Education to Inspire (Promote) Action Competence (HARP). Over the past months, we have explored how to bring climate change education (CCE) alive through emotional awareness, hope-based pedagogy, and real‑life action competence.

Our recent posts range from reflections on immersive summer schools to in‑depth research on the emotional dimensions of climate change, offering educators, researchers, and all those engaged in sustainability education concrete inspiration and tools for transforming classrooms and communities.

Whether you are looking for practical teaching methods, theoretical grounding, or simply want to reconnect with what motivates meaningful climate action — we hope these resources will inform and energize your journey forward.

Stay with us as we continue to build a hopeful, resilient approach to climate change education.
The HARP team
