The goal of the “Empowering Youth: Climate Change Education for Primary School Students” project is to enhance climate change education in primary schools across Serbia, focusing on empowering students to become active participants in combating this global challenge. Through education on the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to climate change, we aim to increase young people’s ecological awareness and lay the foundation for a sustainable future.
The project is based on research conducted by scientists from the University of Novi Sad, which highlighted a significant gap in climate change education in primary schools. It is being implemented in collaboration with The Borislav Pekić Primary School in Belgrade, part of the certified Eco-Schools programme.
The initiative, which began in September 2024, includes a series of five interactive lectures aimed at students from grades 2 to 7. The lectures cover key topics such as the causes, consequences, and mitigation measures for climate change. Following the lectures, students will participate in practical activities, including a tree-planting campaign and the creation of bee gardens in the schoolyard. Through these activities, students will gain insight into the importance of healthy ecosystems and the role of bees in preserving the environment.
All project activities will be documented in an educational video material, which will be distributed to all primary schools in Serbia. This video will enable teachers to easily integrate climate change education into their teaching plans and programmes.
