Welcome to the Clarity Project

CLARITY is a European project that reimagines climate education by helping children and youth move from climate anxiety to resilience, connection, creativity and regeneration. Bringing together insights from psychology, pedagogy, arts and sustainability science, CLARITY places emotional competence, imagination, values and collective agency at the heart of learning. The project offers a practical toolbox of ready-to-use activities that support educators in creating caring, future-oriented and transformative learning environments, and complementary resources.

In Europe, climate education tends to focus on teaching complex scientific facts that pose existential threats, without adequate consideration for the learners’ emotional capacities. At the same time, the inner competences needed for collective action to address today’s polycrisis lack attention. This situation contributes to rising levels of stress and anxiety in children, youth, and teachers, with devastating societal impacts. A radical shift in primary, secondary and higher education, as well as in teacher and educator training, is urgently needed to foster planetary health and well-being. We are working on this shift, together with European educators and experts.
