Hope4Climate!
A project by Ulwiana M-M and Dr. Elin Kelsey with Sadie Musselman.
Announcements for Climate Hope is part of the Evidence-Based Hope and Climate Solutions Project at the David Suzuki Institute.
We created this announcements program for schools and invite you to pilot this program in your school.
The real-world stories you’ll be sharing in your announcements are part of larger climate solutions and trends. Things are happening so quickly, you need to keep up to date!
Overview for the 2024-25 school year
- Use news that occurred no sooner than summer 2024. It has longevity to remain relevant and interesting until summer 2025.
- Intended for Grades 5 – 12
- News can be shared with help of school’s environmental club
- One ‘topic’ weekly
- Disseminated through announcements over the PA system, at assembly, via email, or whatever works for your school
