„Climate change games – Dem globalen Klimawandel spielerisch begegnen“

Ingeborg-Bachmann-Gymnasium Universität Klagenfurt – Institut für Geographie und Regionalforschung, Kärnten

Ziel dieses Projektes ist es, dass Schüler*innen mit fachdidaktischer Begleitung durch Lehramtsstudierende sogenannte Klimaspiele im GW-Unterricht projektartig entwickeln, um Jung und Alt spielerisch für den Klimawandel sowie Klimaschutz zu sensibilisieren.
