HARP | Hopeful and resilience perspective in climate change education to inspire (promote) action competence

Summary
The HARP (Hopeful And Resilience Perspective) project, a collaborative endeavor involving Masaryk University, University of Utrecht, and University of Vienna, targets the gaps and inconsistencies in Climate Change Education (CCE) across Europe. HARP is designed to foster actionable, inclusive, and emotionally-engaging CCE strategies to promote climate change mitigation. Masaryk University, renowned for its focus on climate change education, acknowledges the need for a quantitative approach to CCE, expertise currently excelling at Utrecht University with specialists like Boeve-de Pauw Jelle and a mixed method found in Vienna with the likes of Andrea Moeller.
HARP identifies the uneven state of CCE in Europe, often fragmented and insufficiently integrated into national curricula. Its objective is to transform CCE into a primary driver for climate action, making CCE more holistic by incorporating various disciplinary perspectives. The project is designed to offer actionable recommendations, ultimately aiming to cultivate a climate-literate populace pivotal for the imminent climate challenges.
Acknowledging that existing CCE often overlooks the emotional dynamics of climate change, which significantly influences action engagement, HARP promotes a comprehensive approach to CCE (source). The initiative targets two primary objectives. Firstly, enhancing the capacities of partner institutions for Climate Change Education Research (CCER), emphasizing strengthening research design and improving the overall CCER quality across Europe. Secondly, the formation of a European CCE and CCER network to bolster collaboration and share findings, complemented by national and international advisory boards.
In sum, HARP's intent is to uplift the quality, breadth, and influence of CCE, enabling a community of learners, educators, and researchers equipped to significantly contribute to climate change mitigation.
