Course reviews

What have other teachers said about how Climate action in language education helped them?

"I've started to include discussions about environmental issues in almost all of my language lessons because I've learned how to do this. My students are very interested and take part in the discussions and activities although they are young (7-11 years old)."

Course participant, North Macedonia (Republic of)

"My students and I went tree planting. We [collaborated with local organisations] for tree planting at our school. It was a fun outdoor event. We planted 300 wood trees and 300 fruit trees. Every student who planted a tree had the tree mapped to their name. It was interesting. This even gave them more enthusiasm to grow the trees. We wrote poems, essays, and students gave speeches. I really met the language goals."

Course participant, Uganda

"The course was full of new and informative ideas that widened my thoughts and opened my thoughts to a new strategies i can apply at my classroom since the climate crisis is a main part of their educational process"

Click on that and it will take you to the training platform where you can see all the courses you are enrolled in.

Are you enrolled on the course? Are you having problems registering, or is it that you cannot access the course from the courses homepage? If you are registered, you need to make sure you are logged in, then click on "My Porfolio- My courses" in the top menu. If the course page doesn't open from there, try logging out and logging back in again and it should work.

If the problem is with accessing the course once you are on the homepage, you will need to use the "Help" button to resolve the issue.
