This place-based enquiry project works with primary and secondary school students across England. Students will make decisions on how to document their observations and potential changes in perceptions towards place and climate change. An adaptation of the Mosaic Approach will offer students opportunities to share their own perspectives from a strength-based view. Students will also decide how to disseminate their findings and artworks, and who would be their audience, culminating in an exhibition of the students’ work. Methods include video diaries, guided tours, photography, personal journals and different art-based activities.
This project will illustrate students’ perceptions towards the place and climate change and will show how these can be explored through co-research. Results will provide guidance into the use of participatory methods for place-based learning about climate change with students.
Project duration: 2023 -2025
