On March 2 and 4, AIDGLOBAL provided online training to 18 teachers and youth educators on the challenges of Climate Justice and Gender Equality.
The four-hour training session took place as part of the project “Ecoality: Young People and Local Authorities Together for Climate and Gender Justice” and aimed to transform classrooms into spaces for active citizenship and response to ecological crises. It was certified by the Loures Oriental Training Center.
In line with the National Strategy for Citizenship Education, the training courses aimed to enable teachers and youth educators to implement participatory and transformative non-formal education activities in schools and associations, promoting Global Citizenship Education and the active involvement of young people in issues such as Climate Justice, Gender Equality, and Human Rights.
With the emergence of climate change and the growing importance of gender equality, this was an opportunity for teachers to update their knowledge and become agents of change in school communities. The impact of these issues goes far beyond the classroom, influencing society as a whole, both now and in the future.
The European project “Ecoality,” which aims to promote climate justice and gender equality, is implemented by AIDGLOBAL and the Municipality of Loures, Portugal, and is co-financed by the European Commission and Camões - Institute for Cooperation and Language.
