Turn it around ENG – capsunlock.org

TURN IT AROUND! https://turnitaroundcards.org/ is an expanding toolkit of cards that aims to reimagine the education response to the current climate and ecological emergencies. The toolkit consists of sets of cards designed by youth and school and university students that convey the concerns of young people through original art and text. The Turn it Around cards provide a rich resource of material for teaching and talking about climate change, demonstrating the hopes and expectations of young people in relation to climate change curriculum content and priorities for national education policy. Turn-it-Around: Central Asian Climate Card Deck is a project by CAPS Unlock and the Central Asian Alliance for Climate Education (CEfCA).

By submitting your original artwork or writing, you’ll help shape an educational approach to climate and environment in Central Asia. Your contributions will be included in an online flashcard repository, available for use in workshops, classrooms, and policy decision-making.
