Situational Analysis of ESD at school level in Mauritius (UNESCO funded Projects) SITAN Report (2011) Major Findings Absence or very little coverage of CC related concepts in the school curricula. Lack of appropriate climate change education (CCE) resources fewer CCE extracurricular activities need for appropriate training in CCE Need for a proper structure or mechanism to empower the school managers to support their educators in CCE activities were also noted

  11. SITAN (2011) led to CCESD (UNESCO) Project UNESCO prescribed pathway: CCESD A whole-school Approach to CCESD

Content: different contexts + Range of CC + DRR related concepts Skills for open-ended learning Skills of information management Skills for critical thinking Skills for action Skills for interaction Futures-oriented skills Personal skills 2. A variety of activities: stories, poems, case studies, projects, arts works, ...etc 2. Diverse Learning Approaches • Individual learning • Group Learning (interactive or cooperative learning) ...may involve milling • Experiential learning: learners go through a carefully crafted experience inside or outside the classroom (e.g field visits) before discussing and analysing what they have learnt. (2 forms: simulation games, role play activities) • Participatory learning : • sharing of ideas, experiences and perspectives • It is informed by the core values of human rights, peace and democracy and gives everyone a voice • Empower young people to contribute to social change • Variety and diversity in learning programmes • Whole-person learning.
