TCCF Online Conference August 3-4 2020

 

How to make better world together through education? How to teach climate change?

We welcome you to participate in our international Teachers' Climate Change Forum!

Registration has now closed.

The Science Education Centre (a part of national LUMA Centre Finland) and Institute for Atmospheric and Earth System Research (INAR) from University of Helsinki are organizing the international and participative Teachers' Climate Change Forum 2020 - a continuous professional development program for teachers on all levels of education from around the world.

The TCCF program consists of a open online course (TCCF MOOC), which everyone is free to attend, and in the year 2020 the TCCF Online Conference. We recommend completing the MOOC before attending the conference, but this is not mandatory.

Participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance from University of Helsinki. The certificate recognises you as a member of the international TCCF community for teachers collaborating in developing climate education.
