What role does writing play in climate education? How can climate writing across the curriculum lead to meaningful advocacy? Can writing foster a sense of agency and hope among my students? Join us on March 1 to explore these questions and more!
Write the World, a community of teen writers and educators from 100+ countries around the world, is dedicated to developing the critical thinking and communication skills essential to becoming active global citizens. Liza Cochran, Senior Manager at WtW, will lead participants through a workshop style webinar, showcasing the power of writing to engage students in meaningful climate action.
Participants will gain hands-on experience in three genres (Advocacy Writing, Climate Fiction, and Poetry), and leave with classroom activities, lesson plans, and a standards alignment guide.
Your students (ages 13-19) are also invited to enter Write the World's Climate Writing Awards in fiction, poetry, and advocacy writing. March 24 - April 7. Please email Liza@writetheworld.org for more information.
