Climate Literacy for Community Media: A Systematic Learning Curriculum
"This curriculum is an effort to provide effective communication strategies that can help community media to educate and empower their communities. As climate action often requires local action and local solutions- even if the problem is global, the curriculum adopts a ‘glocal’ perspective, and highlights local initiatives, innovative practices and replicable solutions for addressing climate related issues. The curriculum has been divided into 10 modules that incorporate information, activities, a quiz and content for development of programmes that can inform, educate and create consciousness about the effect of climate change on everyday life. The curriculum provides definitions, vocabulary, and knowledge that is easy to absorb and disseminate but also underscores the importance of acting now to mitigate climate change. The curriculum also recognises the need for developing a comprehensive learning programme that fosters skill development in community radio practitioners. We hope that through this curriculum, content creators will gain the necessary resources, content and in-depth knowledge that can facilitate programme conceptualisation, scriptwriting, and audio production. We are confident that through this curriculum they will acquire the confidence, competence and expertise to create content that resonates with their audiences and drives positive change within their communities. Through a robust strategy for community engagement that includes dialogue, collaboration, and community-driven initiatives the curriculum will help promote and support collective, collaborative and participatory driven approaches."
