For many of us, Climate Change does not play a major role in our classrooms. There are many reasons for this. By attending this symposium, you will learn how to build this important topic into your curriculum.
If you want to learn more about climate change, its impacts, and how to take meaningful action to address it, this event is a must for you. Take a look through the sessions that will be available to us.
