Utopian Stories: let your students be co-researchers!<\/h5>\n

Utopian Stories is a large citizen science project in which school classes are invited to collaborate with research scientists to study the changes we are preparing to make for a sustainable future.<\/p>\n

2020 was an unusual year for many of us. In order to protect one another from the coronavirus, we\u2019ve refrained from doing many of the things we\u2019re used to doing. But even greater changes are needed to put the breaks on climate change. We need to stop what we\u2019re doing and ask ourselves what kind of future we want to have, but at the same time we need to move forward as quickly as possible with the process of adapting to climate change.<\/p>\n

Utopian Stories links together the behavioural changes we made during the pandemic with climate change adaptation and our visions for the future. Students become co-researchers who collaborate with climate scientists, literary scholars, future researchers and educators. Teachers will gain valuable input for their classes, focusing on the scientific method, working with literature, and the global sustainability goals \u2013 all while providing researchers with important data collected by their students.<\/p>\n

Throughout the spring of 2021, the project will be conducted entirely online. When it is once again possible for us all to meet, there will be several opportunities to take part in person. All of the activities will continue to be available online to make it possible to participate from anywhere.<\/p>\n

Utopian Stories is rooted in the pandemic and the climate crisis, but it takes aim at a brighter future \u2013 maybe by seizing on the power of imagining a utopia! Does this sound interesting? Read more and register yourself and your classes.<\/p>\n

Please join us!<\/p>\n

What does the project mean for me as a teacher?<\/h2>\n

In Utopian Stories, you and your students can contribute to important research while you gain valuable input from scientists and other experts on the front lines of climate research, literary criticism, humanities, future research and education.<\/p>\n

As a teacher, you\u2019ll get access to:<\/p>\n
