Acting Greener in Schools through Digital Narratives

Climate change is the greatest challenge of our times and humans are recognized as a major cause of Climate Change (UNESCO, 2009). In general teachers face various difficulties to apply innovative competence-based teaching in their settings as they are not trained in such practices while not feeling confident to teach for climate change due to the absence of clarity about the most effective teaching strategies. Weaknesses in Digital Competences for Educators (DCE) increase when it comes to situations or tools specifically related to online teaching. ActGreenStory (AGS) in response to these challenges, capitalizing on past projects, and innovative education methodologies and trainings for green skills, with the use of digital storytelling and creativity seeks to empower teachers towards achieving greener behaviors, shaping tomorrow’s climate action changemakers, with participatory methods, following a holistic approach. Digital technologies in all their facets coupled with strong narratives can engage students towards becoming tomorrow’s green stewards.
