City of Dublin ETB’s Adult Education Service is at the beginning stages of developing and delivering climate justice education programmes, specifically targeted at communities facing disadvantage and / or social exclusion. The Climate Justice Education Programme will be multidisciplinary, with courses provided through a range of mediums such as: textiles, art, craft, community drama, workshops, horticulture. The role of the Adult Education Service is to ensure access to education for those most marginalised from the education system, in particular those who have low levels of educational attainment. There are many public awareness programmes taking place around the topic of climate change from civil society environmental groups across Ireland. However, within the city of Dublin, most of these programmes appear to be targeted at either the general public or youth and do not make provisions for adults with low levels of educational attainment or literacy.The objectives of this specific project are to:- Provide professional development opportunities for adult education management and practitioners in the area of climate justice education- To integrate the learning from European Best Practice into the development of the Adult Education Services' emerging Climate Justice Education Programme.We have identified the need for professional development for core Adult Education Service staff in the area of climate justice education.The professional development needs include: - Climate Justice Education principles and theoryThis event will give a senior staff member the opportunity to tease out the strategic rationale and opportunities for climate justice education in adult and community education and to network and develop links with practitioners leading on this across Europe.- Climate Justice Education teaching and learning methods. Staff who attend these mobilities will develop their teaching and facilitation methods and skills on climate justice educationWe plan to have five staff members attend structured courses / training events between June 2020 and May 2022 which is will address the professional development needs outlined above. These staff members are representatives of the various strands of CDETB Adult Education Service including senior management and adult education tutors. It is envisaged that these staff members will attend 4 day long training events. The mobilities directly relate the to professional development needs of staff who will be involved in creating, managing and delivering the Climate Justice Education Programme as a whole and the individual courses that will be run as part of it. The Climate Justice Education Programme of the CDETB’s Adult Education Services will be a long-term programme. On return from their mobilities, staff members will have multiple opportunities for sharing their learnings and influencing the strategic development of the Climate Justice Education Programme. Staff will, on return, meet with the Adult Education Officer with overall responsibility for the project for a debrief and to articulate how these learnings can be integrated into their work in CDETB. They will publish a blog post which outlines their experiences and recommendations. In addition they will be part of a Community of Practice on Climate Justice Education and will share their learnings in this space. At its core, those tutors who travel, will directly implement their learnings in the classroom, providing a high quality, empowering and innovative learning experience for the learners.Ultimately this project will assist to develop tutor's and manager's ability to develop a climate justice education programme in the Adult Education Service of CDETB. This will have significant impacts in terms of providing disadvantaged learners with free access to innovative and creative educational programmes which will develop their critical literacy on climate change and empower learners to have agency on the climate issues facing them and to build solidarity with communities across the global south and in the rest of the world who are impacted most heavily by the climate crisis.The learnings from the project will be disseminated widely through the broad range of community, educational and environmental networks and bodies that the Adult Education Services are part of.
