Περιγραφή

Το Climate Action and Light Pollution Threat (CliC-PoLiT) project addresses critical environmental challenges – climate change, urban sustainability, and light pollution – through systemic, interdisciplinary approaches that integrate Science, Arts, and Humanities. By empowering students to investigate, solve, and act on real-world environmental issues, the project fosters essential skills such as problem-solving, communication, and collaboration. Students share their findings with their communities, promoting broader societal awareness and engagement.

The project provides a suite of resources, including guidelines, educational materials, and professional development tools for educators. These resources support the integration of the topics into school curricula and include assessment frameworks for both teachers and students.

The project, which concluded in 2024, introduced three replicable initiatives: two robotics competitions and a culminating Students’ Parliament Program. In this program, secondary students debated how European society should address scientific findings on light pollution. Discussions centered on four key themes:

  • Impact on Biodiversity
  • Impact on Energy Use
  • Loss of the Night Sky
  • Satellite Constellations

This innovative approach not only deepens students’ understanding of sustainability challenges but also inspires actionable solutions for a more sustainable future. Resources can be used individually or used in clusters depending on your need and level of experience.


Πώς να χρησιμοποιήσετε αυτόν τον πόρο

You can use the CliC-PoLiT Educational & Assessment Toolkits to look for:

  • Background information on Light Pollution, its effects on the environment, and its connection to climate change;
  • Ideas and resources to support classroom activities;
  • Connections between classroom activities and our pedagogical framework, and suggested ways of implementation;
  • A how-to guide to introduce selected digital resources in schools;
  • Introduce modern assessment practices to teachers including formative, summative and student self-assessment.initiatives.

You can also use the reports of the three initiatives that were implemented by the project – two robotics competitions and a culminating Students’ Parliament Program – that can be inspiring to be replicated.
