The goal is for participants to critically examine the Narrative-Based Climate Storylines micro-credential (provided in the PDF document) and be ready to discuss their thoughts/ideas at our live meeting. Try to spend time evaluating:
Whether it fits their institutional context
What works well
What needs further development
Where there are gaps or barriers
What resources or partnerships would be required
How it could be adapted or scaled in their own university
This activity helps participants connect the learning in this course to institutional strategy, curriculum design, and capacity-building for climate education.
