Be the Change at Provincial Pro-D Day!

On Friday, October 22nd our team took great pleasure in presenting at three province-wide teacher Professional Development workshops and exhibiting at one other. What a day! As a result, 58 more educators have joined Be the Change and will now be able to access our Student Leadership for Change resources, which could reach hundreds more students year after year. 

In our sessions, participants collaborated to draw curriculum connections to climate change. This was a short pilot of a process we are designing into a full Pro-D model that will bring teachers together to explore these connections, workshop challenges, build relationships and contribute to a Climate Curriculum Map.

Expanding the Climate Curriculum Map to empower teachers and students across BC is just one goal of our Be the Change Action Network Initiative. We can hardly contain our excitement about this initiative! By bringing together teachers who share our vision for Climate Education for all students, we believe we are working towards transformative change.

Be the Change Earth Alliance (BTCEA) is a great example of how the commitment of a handful of individuals can spark collective and meaningful action. The problems facing the planet might seem overwhelming, but when people work together, big changes can happen.

July 2021 Newsletter - Processing Our Climate Anxiety Together

Recent heat waves and raging wildfires across so called “BC” and “Canada” have flooded me with feelings of loss and anguish. For me, these extreme weather events bring the climate crisis painfully close to home, leaving me with an unshakable sense of dread about both our present and future. It’s crucial to recognize that these events, which the climate crisis makes more frequent, have a disproportionate impact on homeless people, Indigenous people, and other marginalized and frontline communities already facing inequities.
