• 11:30 am | Discussion
• 12 pm | Lunch break
• 1:00 pm | Workshop “Climate Emotions in the Classroom” (Vanessa Weihgold, Tübingen) 
  Traditional education in Europe focusses on the transmission of information. However, subjects like war or climate change not only touch the students' rationality but also their emotional experience of their world. Unfortunately, teachers and lecturers are often ill equipped for addressing these feelings. Consequently, we will not only look into some theoretical background on climate emotions, but will also work with a pedagogical methodology to address the emotional experience.
• 2:30 pm | Coffee break
• 3 pm | Workshop: “Exploring Identities and Emotions around Climate Change using The Dynamic Systems Model of Role Identity” (Dr. Joanna K. Garner, Norfolk) 
  Pressing societal issues such as climate change can elicit complex emotions that shape our behavior as researchers, students, and citizens. In this interactive workshop, we will explore how our identities in these and other roles are imbued with emotions, and how emotions are central to the process of identity exploration and change. We will explore the phenomenon of motivated action in the context of green transition using the Dynamic Systems Model of Role Identity, which emphasizes the interplay between agentic individuals and their sociocultural contexts. Participants will consider design principles for supporting identity exploration around the topic of climate change and will apply them to their own professional contexts.
• 4:30 pm | Break

• 11:30 am | Workshop: “From Footprint to Handprint – From Limitation to Empowerment” (Dr. Nicole Aeschbach, Heidelberg) 
  In school practice, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) often takes the form of projects on personal diet, mobility and energy use. While close to students’ everyday lives, such activities can reinforce an uncritical focus on the ecological footprint, pursuing minor rather than major levers for change. Systemic transformations in energy, mobility and consumption often appear beyond the reach of young people. The handprint concept offers a way to connect individual and societal action, shifting ESD from analysing personal limits towards fostering agency for collective engagement and co-creation of a sustainable present and future. This approach calls for skills such as collaboration, communication, critical thinking and perspective-taking. The workshop will offer impulses and space to reflect on how the handprint idea might inform subject-related teaching.
