Yes! The Climate Literacy project has finally started. On 18 and 19 January 2016, all participating organizations came together in Mechelen (Belgium). These kick-off meetings are mostly about practicalities and getting to know each other (this one was not that different).
Yet we managed to already put some interesting things in motion:
- Phase one: framework analysis – F.T.I / Technopolis® drew up a plan of action and some handy templates to build the report and analysis on all existing projects on climate literacy and education.
All countries are set to:- make an inventory on existing education materials
- send a questionnaire to the public to get an insight on the level of literacy
- hold focus groups and interviews with educators and ordinary citizens
- Website content creation – All parties gave their insight on what we should put on the project’s website, http://www.climate-literacy.eu .
- Logo creation – We’ve held an interesting workshop on what the logo should look like. Technopolis has already started sketching.
