We are members of the education class "Teaching for Climate Activism" at the University of Oregon. We look forward to sharing what we have learned about communicating climate change throughout the length of this term. This class is taught by Prof. Sarah Stapleton and is full of aspiring educators, with interests varying from elementary to high school.

We invite you to join us on Saturday, December 4th from 9:30- 1:30 for a free online workshop on teaching climate change. During these workshop sessions, we will discuss a wide variety of topics through the lens of climate education. Our Keynote speaker is Tim Swinehart, Climate Justice high school teacher, 2015 Oregon Social Studies Teacher of the Year, and Co-author of Curriculum of the Earth.

We hope you can join us. Stay as long as you want, either for one session or for all, for a Saturday morning of fun. If you cannot attend but would like recordings of the sessions, please rsvp.

“Sometimes we just simply have to find a way. The moment we decide to fulfill something, we can do anything. And I’m sure the moment we start behaving as if we were in an emergency, we can avoid climate and ecological catastrophe. Humans are very adaptable: we can still fix this. But the opportunity to do so will not last for long. We must start today. We have no more excuses.” –Greta Thunberg
