Episode 6: Global Schooling
Update: 2021-07-29
Description
The focus of episode 6 is on educational institutions themselves, and what they can do to promote climate literacy. Our first guest is Asha Alexander, the dynamic principal of a large kindergarten in Dubai and UN climate champion who is a pioneer in climate literacy. In From the Field, we journey to Croatia to find out about ‘The Green Schools Initiative’, and how we can make environmental changes in our own schools. Similarly, in our second interview, Beccy Wigglesworth from International House World talks about their environmental sustainability programme, joining Rose Aylett in reflecting on the role of the ELT industry as a whole in creating a more just world, and how language can be a central part of that. The Green Glossary takes us on a whistle-stop tour of localized varieties of English spoken around the world, looking at words including kaitiakitangai (Māori), bayanihan (Tagalog) and jugaad (Hindi).
