Training Sessions for Teachers

In Manisa, 20 teachers underwent immersive training in Climate Education, Mindfulness, and Social Theatre. They returned to train 10 of their colleagues across the 5 schools, equipping the next generation of educators to transform eco-anxiety into awareness, resilience, and civic participation.

Training Sessions for Teachers

In Manisa, Turkey, twenty teachers from across our five partner schools came together for an immersive week of training in climate education, mindfulness, and social theatre. They then returned home to train ten of their colleagues, in a deliberate cascade designed to embed the project's pedagogical approach inside each school rather than simply pass through it.

The aim was practical: to give educators a working set of tools for turning eco-anxiety into awareness, resilience, and civic participation. What follows are some of the materials that supported that training, shared here for reference and inspiration.

Training slides

The slides below were used by our trainers in Manisa across the three pedagogical pathways of the project: climate education and eco-artivism, mindfulness and eco-anxiety, and social theatre. They offer a snapshot of how the training was structured and the ideas it drew on.

These slides are a reference document rather than a standalone resource. For the full set of frameworks, exercises, and ready-to-use classroom materials — available in English, Italian, Slovenian, Turkish, Bulgarian, and German — head to the Anthropo-Scene Toolkit, which is where the underlying methodology lives in its most polished and complete form.

Social theatre in practice

Social theatre is one of those things that resists the page: it is learned in the body, in the room, in the moment of trying. The three short videos below complement the slides above, capturing principles and exercises that surfaced during the Manisa training.

They are intended as a starting point. We encourage teachers to watch, try, and then revisit — ideally with colleagues, and ideally before working with students.
