Over the course of 2022, a team of Warwick researchers, external artists, and young people from schools in Coventry have been working collaboratively and creatively in response to the global climate crisis and the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This event is in partnership with Sarah Shalgosky (Curator of the Mead Gallery, WAC) and WAC’s Creative Learning team.

We will showcase these three interrelated creative arts education Impact projects, exploring how they have used drama, dance, digital arts, creative writing, and performance poetry as ways of navigating the messy, complex, and often overwhelming topics of climate change and environmental degradation.

Dr Pontso Moorosi has been awarded funds to collaborate with Dr Nicola Sum in Monash on the project:

Transformative leadership through geopolitical crisis: Stories of women and teams working in marginalised communities

Dr Rachel King-Turner has been leading and collaborating on two key Climate Education impact projects that will be showcased on Thursday February 2nd 2023 in the Warwick Arts Centre. There will also be guest speakers from across Coventry - More details soon.

The department will soon welcome an academic visitor from Brazil, Dr Telma Para, for 6 months (Feb-July) to study the ways in which we at Warwick have developed tools and strategies to address maths anxiety in schools, colleges and universities. In Brazil, Dr. Palma is working with Prof Joao dos Santos Carmo from Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar). Joao has previously developed a more intense intervention for very highly maths anxious students who need a more specialist intervention

Professor Chris Brown will start the project funded by the University of Calgary soon.
