This interactive workshop, funded by the Nuffield Strategic Fund, will be criticially discussing issues around climate change, trust, and the sources of information teachers access.

One aim of the day is to shape a larger research project that will improve our understandings of the sources of information used for teaching climate change and create opportunities for collaborations between climate researchers and school geography teachers.

The outline for the day is below, and we hope that you will be able to participate in all of this. However, please do also feel free to drop in and out for particular sessions as your availability allows.
