Description

The talk presents the central elements of and thoughts behind the two-day student laboratory Labs4Future. This extracurricular offer for 15-year-old high school students tries to manage the linking of knowledge about climate change with effective individual and societal action. Based on a newly developed theoretical framework Lessons4Future, which integrates environmental psychology, sociology and science education, the talk showcases how we try to transfer the theory into experiments and activities.
Among the presented elements are the Carbon Credits, an area visualization of daily personal and societal emissions, and a Mystery that addresses responsibility for the problem and solutions of climate change.
