CLIMATE CHANGE IN PRIMARY SCHOOL THROUGH ARTISTIC INSTALLATIONS IN THE CLASSROOM

Addressing environmental issues, such as climate change, is of vital importance for the education of schoolchildren but, at the same time, it is a very complex task which is why educational resources must be sought that favour the learning of these environmental contents. The aim of this project is to raise awareness among pupils in the second year of primary school about the importance of climate change through art installations. To this end, 104 students from an educational center in the Region of Murcia were involved in a didactic intervention. This proposal consisted of three sequenced activities, which allowed the students to improve their knowledge of the problem of climate change and its repercussions. In conclusion, the use of art installations generates a playful environment in which to interact with the environment and favours the development of reflection and learning.
