Description

The aim of the project is to encourage school pupils develop critical thinking through the analysis of climate change (in)justices.

It is expected that the project will help to:

  1. implement participatory discussions that involve school pupils (aged 15-17 years old) from high schools located in smaller Lithuanian cities and theme on sustainable development and justice
  2. create conditions for pupils to activate new knowledge – by indicating and solving local climate injustices and modeling journalistic publications (such as podcasts and articles) – and through these means personalize seemingly distant discussions on climate justice (be they local or far-reaching)
  3. to encourage local communities to speak out and participate in a dialogue
