In this episode of the Oxfordshire Teacher Training podcast, Matthew Coatsworth sits down with education consultant and fellow of the UK National Association for Environmental Education Ben Ballin to explore climate education. In an inspiring interview, Ben talks about a message of hope and opportunity, gives many fantastic recommendations for how to tackle ‘difficult’ questions and where to find reliable and age-appropriate resources. Ben also shares some of the work he has been involved with, including developing the geography curriculum at Eynsham primary school. Keen listeners may remember Matthew discussing how the history curriculum was created at that school with Will Reeves back in episode 7.
