The course consists of 4 units that demonstrate and approach scientific work through various activities and experiments and through which the public, pre-service and in-service teachers can understand the issue and lead their pupils to enlightenment as well.
The course is developed in a mixed format. In particular, the target group must explore in advance several selected resources related to the topics under investigation (based on the resources that can be found in the Toolkit and the developed infographic, participate in online teaching based on independent work and experiments. Participants must also work with materials available on http://project-stage.eu/.
At the same time, the whole unit is supplemented with asynchronous teaching. The whole module aims at a deeper final online discussion and reflection, while working with the active participation in the topic.
Duration of course: 4 hours
Target group: scientist
Expertise needed per target group: Basic understanding of the natural image of the Earth (geobiomes), movements of sea currents (salinity, temperature, etc.), basic orientation in the effects of human activity on climate change
Objectives:- Learning of climate change concepts
- Development of creative activity
- Development of discussion and presentation skills
- Focus on the development of self-reflection and self-evaluation
The course consists of 4 basic activities:
1. A planet from nature: the territory of scientists or a place for human life?
2. Thank You for the Rain
3. Island of plastic waste
4. Storytelling Will Save the Earth: feedback of activities

Core ideas – Content:
- The introductory part of the module with the aim: to realize what impact climate change has on people's lives
- How the results of scientific work, approached and presented to the public, can affect these impacts
Duration: 60 minutes
Objectives:
- Approaching the structure and procedures of scientific work – working with different sources, sorting one's own ideas, one's own practical part, and a final discussion
- To realize that climate change needs to be addressed at different levels of the organization of human society
- Development of work with resources (atlas, Google Earth), reading materials
- Acquire and improve acquired knowledge in the field of the natural image of the Earth
- Be able to think spatially and develop creative abilities
They will become aware of the connection between the location of a given place on Earth (geobiomes) and the impact of climate change in a given area and how the results of scientific work can help to educate in this area.
Acquisition of individual skills, application of content skills in a practical activity. -
