Become equipped with tools, strategies, and culturally relevant resources to teach climate change! This session will use children’s books as a vehicle to introduce concepts of climate justice and highlight Indigenous voices, actions, and pedagogies, empowering teachers to center diverse narratives and foster environmental awareness in their classrooms. Through this training, educators will learn to bridge storytelling with science, integrate social justice principles into their curriculum, and inspire students to think critically about their role in building a just and sustainable future.

About Start:Empowerment: Start:Empowerment is a youth BIPOC-led non-profit at the nexus of climate education, solutions, and environmental justice. With programming across Turtle Island, they offer high-quality justice-centric climate education that blends science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) skills with traditional ecological knowledge. Their mission is to empower youth of color to innovate, imagine, and build a just and sustainable future. 

This workshop is recommended for K-6 educators, non-formal educators, librarians, and community members interested in Environmental and Climate Education. 2 CTLE credits will be available. 

This event is free but registration is required. Because of limited capacity, seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

This event is sponsored by NYU's Georgiou Library, in collaboration with the Wallerstein Collaborative and Start:Empowerment.
