Climate change on the high school curriculum in Melbourne

Monday, 25 May 2015 - 10:30am to 11:00am

Weather Stations is a global project which places literature and storytelling at the heart of the conversations around climate change. Launched in 2014, the Weather Stations project harnesses the transformative power of words to imagine, in the context of a threatened environment, how we might live our lives differently. Five partner cities are involved - London, Warsaw, Dublin, Warsaw and Melbourne. Each partner city selects a local school as a 'Substation' where students work with teachers and mentors to discover ways to develop as citizens with the knowledge, motivation and tools to fight for a more sustainable future.

Footscay City College is the only school in Australia taking part. This week we hear from FCC students participating in the Weather Stations project and how this has affected their thinking and behavior around the issue of climate change.
