NEU National CPD

Decolonising and decarbonising education

This session will explore examples of climate injustice, and how this often intersects with issues of race, gender and class and how we can create sustainability-focused teaching and learning that works to challenge and address the harmful legacies of colonialism and imperialism.

 The aims of the interactive workshop are to:

  • provide an introductory understanding of climate justice and its connection with decolonising and decarbonising
  • support participants to identify opportunities to apply decolonising and decarbonising for climate justice to the education sector
  • encourage participants to develop their own practice to consider climate justice and intersectionality
  • explore the role of NEU branches and members in mobilising action for decolonising and decarbonising

Suitable for: All members
