Unfortunately, the ClimeTime network was defunded in 2025. However, we want to share our appreciation with all partners and participants!
Feel free to explore this site to find videos, lessons, resources, and more!
This is part of the impact of this initiative!
The Community Education in Action program is a collaborative series of workshops to bring together youth, community leaders, teachers, and educators to co-create learning resources that can inspire other people to take action to fight climate change-related injustices. The emphasis this year will be community+climate resilience rooted in a grassroots just transition, incorporating youth voices.
Everyone is welcome to participate! The most important part is enthusiasm.
How do you imagine the world, and especially your community,
20 years from now?

Community Education in Action incorporates the principles of Popular Education (or educação popular as described by Brazilian educator Paulo Freire). Popular Education is a way to promote critical consciousness in participants by examining our realities as a starting point for political activism, social transformation, and liberation. It encompasses the idea that there are no experts, only people with different experiences so when coming together everyone becomes a facilitator in the co-creation of more knowledge and resources to fight oppression, and in this case, environmental and climate injustices.
By prioritizing people-centered solutions rooted in the experiences and vision of communities hit first and worst by climate change, we can create more just systems that support the ability to thrive for Black and Indigenous people, communities of color, and the working class.
These workshops are intended to serve as an exercise of critical awareness and collective action. In fact, in popular/community education, the learning process isn't considered to be complete without action on what is learned; whether it be on a personal or political level.
We hope that all participants gain a deeper understanding of what a just transition could look like in your communities and will develop learning resources that could be used in classrooms or community-centered spaces.
"There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle, because we do not lead single-issue lives. Our struggles are particular, but we are not alone. What we must do is commit ourselves to some future that can include each other and to work toward that future with the particular strengths of our individual identities.”
-Audre Lorde
