Travel to Learn: Grants for Climate Change Education
For all educators
Join an interactive session exploring climate-focused travel opportunities that can transform your teaching and deepen your environmental expertise. Discover programs like Project Ice, Fund for Teachers, and Don Quixote grants that support educators in pursuing climate science fieldwork, sustainability research, and environmental education experiences worldwide. We'll discuss how these immersive experiences strengthen your content knowledge, provide authentic connections to climate issues, and inspire student engagement with one of our generation's most pressing challenges. Learn practical strategies for identifying funding sources, aligning proposals with program priorities, and crafting compelling applications.
We'll close with dedicated time to begin drafting your own application, so bring your ideas—you'll leave with concrete next steps toward your climate education adventure.
Connecting with Nature Through Outdoor Learning
For elementary educators
In this workshop, we’ll share how we incorporate outdoor learning into our classrooms. From natural play to nature journaling to outdoor working programs, outdoor learning is beneficial to students in a multitude of ways. It also raises climate awareness through connection to the natural world. Come learn how you can get outdoors with your students in NYC!
Stories of a Warming World: Climate Change Across the Curriculum Using Personal Narratives and Literature
In this workshop, we will use a tool, “NASA Climate Legacies”, to compare experiences of climate change across generations. We will explore how to craft personal or imagined narratives that connect climate data with students’ lived experiences while encouraging them to envision and develop future solutions. Participants will leave with a strategy combining climate change data and storytelling that strengthens climate literacy and engagement for multiple grade levels and subject areas.
