(openPR) Bookstores are allowed to open again! What a joy for everyone who, in addition to the electronic media, also loves the feeling at their fingertips, turning the pages of paper and smelling the smell of freshly printed books.
We have an idea which books in the shop window of the book trade could catch your eye.
Barely published, Bill Gates’ book “How we prevent the climate catastrophe” (Piper Verlag) is already a bestseller. Technological visions dominate his plea to take the topic seriously and act. The book by Luisa Neubauer and Alexander Repenning “From the end of the climate crisis. A story of our future ”(Tropen Verlag). The new paperback edition recommends “training the imagination” with regard to global, social contexts and political action.
In the middle between these two books The new publication by Petra Eickhoff and four other editors closes a gap inside: “Schools act in the climate crisis” (Zukunftswerkstatt Akademie Verlag). Changing schools through education for sustainable development is a sympathetic starting point on the same topic – UNESCO (United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture) calls on society to do so.
This ¡Change School! Guidebook sees itself as a guide for transformative education. It encourages people to act together in order to deal with the climate crisis constructively and practically in schools: school administrators and colleges, pupils, parents and educational actors are addressed equally. Nine chapters on 172 pages convey technical and specialist knowledge from climate research, psychology, development policy and school development. Fifteen schools that have already changed with the climate crisis will have their say – mostly from North Rhine-Westphalia, but also from Nigeria and Colombia. Practical, refreshing and encouraging.

Participation and organizational development – parto – a strong team. We come from different professional and cultural backgrounds. The common passion for the future workshops brought us together – and the desire to support organizations, municipalities, schools and initiatives in a participatory manner.
In 2019, the protests of the “Fridays for Future” moved us to make an active contribution to the climate and sustainable education. We resolved to initiate open dialogue spaces that promote discussion and understanding of global interrelationships and encourage constructive action. In 2020 we gained new cooperation partners from science and development organizations and organized a ¡Change School! Summit, a summit meeting of 15 schools with teachers, students, parents and activists in the climate movement.
