Integrating Climate Education into a High-Quality Art & Design Curriculum | Primary

This webinar will provide headteachers, governors, senior leaders, art & design leads, teachers and practitioners with advice and practical guidance on integrating climate education into the primary art & design curriculum, as part of a holistic approach to develop pupils’ knowledge and understanding of climate change, aligned with the government’s flagship strategy.

The DfE’s policy paper Sustainability and climate change: a strategy for the education and children’s services systems highlights the urgent need to give children and young people ‘the knowledge and skills to thrive in the green economy and to help restore nature’. By interweaving climate education throughout the curriculum, schools can provide pupils with a much deeper insight into the truth about environmental issues, and their role as agents of change.

In this webinar, Paul Carney, teacher and NSEAD registered art consultant experienced in delivering CPD and curriculum development, explains how primary schools can use art & design lessons to build the foundations of climate literacy, using practical examples and activities to enhance teaching and learning.
