STUDENT CLIMATE LISTENING PROJECTS
We're collaborating with schools and students to accelerate climate listening across America and around the world. As part of a Climate Stories project, Climate Listening Project director Dayna Reggero presented to college students at Appalachian State University who are listening and creating multi-media presentations as 50% of their Sustainable Development Program grade. One biology/art student at the University of North Carolina created a listening project as part of their McCullough Fellowship, creating portraits and listening to stories for a Climate Listening Project Portraiture Series "From the Same Soil". In collaboration with National Audubon Society, North Carolina Audubon, and Forsyth Audubon, fourth graders in elementary schools across North Carolina are listening, watching our film "The Wood Thrush Connection", and incorporating climate listening curriculum into their classrooms with take-home climate actions. One student at The Rainbow School created a listening project as her sixth grade entrepreneurship project, raising $400 to send to the Cloud Forest School in Central America. Plus, 90 ninth graders in high school at the Franklin School of Innovation are listening and creating "Small Actions Big Changes" podcasts as part of an intensive long-term interdisciplinary learning expedition.

TEACHERS ENGAGE
From "Communicating Science with Stories" to film screenings and workshops on climate listening, Climate Listening Project director Dayna Reggero tours colleges and universities. Past events include Wake Forest University, University of Montana, and University of West Florida, among others. We can also create custom listening projects or curriculums for elementary, middle, high, and secondary schools. Connect to book a climate speaker.
