Eco-IMPACT+ Curriculum for Adolescent Engagement in Environmental sustainability and Climate Action

Curriculum (Eco-IMPACT+ Curriculum) is to increase the knowledge, skills and
confidence of adolescents to be stewards of creation and to engage in environmental
protection and climate action.

Eco IMPACT+ is a ten-lesson multimedia-based Environmental Sustainability and Climate
Action (ESCA) curriculum designed to provided adolescent members of World Vision’s (WV)
clubs and groups with a foundational understanding of environmental sustainability and care
and the causes and impacts of climate change, as well as a platform to become climate
changemakers.

The approach empowers adolescents to become active citizens in their communities, to voice
their perspectives, and to contribute towards caring for the environment and combating
climate change. Service-learning projects are integrated into the lessons to enable
participants to apply what they learn in the meetings to design real projects with their
communities that increase environmental care and lessen the effects of climate change. These
projects encourage critical thinking and community engagement, empowering participants
to realize they can impact their own future instead of being silent witnesses.

At the end of the 10 lessons, the clubs will showcase their work on ESCA in the form of
exhibits for their communities. This public forum will enable them to educate and inspire their
community members to act on environmental protection and climate concerns. The exhibits
will feature selections of their final projects, including interviews, presentations, postcards,
water sayings, and collaborative plastic sculptures on environmental protection and climate
concerns. This initiative will highlight the clubs’ vision for a healthy and environmentally
sustainable future.
