The Climate Literacy Exchange

in Education for Sustainability

The 2nd annual Climate Literacy Exchange was a day-long meeting of Bay Area educators, community partners, and high school youth activists who showcased their projects and shared resources to tackle climate change. I was invited by Eric Havel, Director of Berkeley’s Community Resources for Science program (CRS) and Vita Wells, Director of the Culture of Repair project. I learned about it by volunteering with community repair weekend events in Berkeley. The event was co-sponsored by CRS and community partners StopWaste and the California Environmental Literacy Initiative.

This event impacted 15 school districts, collectively serving 400,000 students in 7 Bay Area counties. There were over 300 attendees who showcased their climate change educational resources and environmental justice action projects.

My favorite workshop focused on teaching ocean literacy to elementary and middle school students. The presenter was from the NOAA as a science educator for several marine sanctuaries including the Farallons. There were tremendous resources and lessons to support our Lower School sustainability unit on the oceans. I will definitely be attending in the future!

Here are some resources from the event. https://sites.google.com/fusdk12.net/bay-area-clx/knowledge-base
