EDUCATION FOCUS – Creation Care: Climate Action
The three-year Education Focus aims to bring Creation care: Climate action issues to as broad an audience as possible. Dive into the Education Focus Modules and learn more about how PWRDF partners are taking climate action by clicking here.
The learning modules are being designed in response to input we received from a small consultative group. We will encourage the use of these particular resource at the local and regional levels and we can provide support, as needed, to those who wish to hold sessions.
- 2021 theme – climate action and food security
- 2022 theme – climate action and women
- 2023 theme – climate action and health
Each year’s focus will include a series of learning modules written by staff and others, that can be completed in about 60 to 90 minutes, either as an individual or as a group. The learning modules will be available on our website.
