Program: WithOnePlanet
WithOnePlanet is an initiative of the xpand Foundation.
Background
WithOnePlanet climate change education supports teaching about environmental viability, cultural awareness and active citizenship.
As an inquiry-based teaching and learning program, it offers resources focused on environmental education with three key themes: carbon, culture and citizenship. WithOnePlanet’s online resources are aligned with the Australian Curriculum for Years Foundation to 10 and coordinated for whole-school integration across multiple subject areas.
The program is designed to broaden knowledge and awareness about climate change and provide a practical ‘call to action’ that connects school communities in Australia with those in Timor-Leste.
Approach
Through our long-term partnership with the xpand Foundation, who auspices the program, we were asked to project manage the development of the resources and website. Projects delivered to date also include digital stories, photography, and design and production of the vast teaching and learning resources.
The program was partially funded by the Australian Department of Education and Training and partially by in-kind support from a long list of dedicated contributors.
Outcomes
The integrated and coordinated suite of resources and communications we designed for WithOnePlanet continue to support the program to increase its networks and uptake in schools, and inspire a new generation of students about the importance of understanding the environments we live in.
