You thought you were signing up for an English class and the teacher wants to persuade you to become a change maker. Could this be a way of coping with eco-anxiety? But are there any limits on what you can do in an educational setting?<\/p>\n

Welcome to show number 310 of absolutely intercultural. My name\u2019s Anne Fox and I\u2019ve been talking to Harry Waters<\/a>, a teacher in Spain about using English teaching to connect it with sustainability.\u00a0<\/p>\n

absolutely heroic<\/strong>
First I wanted to find out why Harry does that and then I asked him about the book, Activities for a Greener Mindset<\/a>\u201d which he wrote to share his ideas more widely with other teachers.<\/p>\n

absolutely legal
<\/strong>It occurred to me that some of the activities Harry was proposing may not be received equally enthusiastically everywhere so let\u2019s go, absolutely legal.<\/p>\n

absolutely emotional
<\/strong>The reason I got in touch with Harry in the first place was that I had heard him talk about harnessing the power of emotion in his sustainability work. You may have heard that eco-anxiety is a thing but Harry interprets it much more widely than that so let\u2019s go absolutely emotional.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So, are you using your anger for good? Are you a change maker and if so, where did that come from? If you want more ideas then I suggest looking through Harry\u2019s book, Activities for a Greener Mindset: Integrating sustainable learning in the ELT classroom<\/a>. There\u2019s a free sample on the publisher\u2019s website. Also don’t forget to check out the Climate Mental Health Network<\/a>\u00a0 website.\u00a0 You can also leave us a comment here.<\/p>\n
