CLEAN Network Video Conferences

During the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 1:00 pm Eastern Time (12 pm Central, 11 am Mountain, 10 am Pacific) CLEAN Network members meet on a video conference call to update each other about their climate literacy projects, upcoming events, and funding opportunities and share information about best practices, key teaching/learning resources, and the development of collaborative activities. Often these video conferences include special presentations by members and guests.
To participate in these video conferences, you need to be a member of the CLEAN Network. To join the Network, sign up here Join CLEAN Network.

Members receive an email alert from the CLEAN Network listserv with information about each week's video conference.

May 6th:Informal Conversation 

May 20th: Open Knowledge to Activate K to Gray Climate Literacy with Curt Newton

Abstract: Effective and equitable responses to climate change's intersecting causes and impacts, at the speed and scale we need, call for better ways to bring people into activation with that knowledge. Opening climate knowledge needs to be joined with commitments to keep adapting it for relevance and inclusion across the full spectrum of K to gray learners, across all ages and all sectors of society.

In this session, we'll examine how open climate learning materials and practices are developing to meet this charge, as communities exercise their rights to retain, revise, and remix open licensed climate learning content. Examples include localizing general climate knowledge for specific contexts, infusing learners' lived experiences into shared knowledge through open pedagogy, and adapting source materials for new audiences.

Bio: Curt Newton is catalyzing more engaged and equitable climate action through open knowledge practices and resources. Professionally, Curt combines two decades of open education leadership as Director of MIT OpenCourseWare with serving on MIT's climate education working group and convening an open climate learning community of practice. As a citizen, Curt is on the leadership team of the Boston Green New Deal Coalition, an active facilitator with the En-ROADS climate simulator, a national convener for the Council on the Uncertain Human Future, an improvising drummer who often performs in the service of climate engagement, and lives in a deep energy retrofit net-zero home.
