Our Planet, Our People

Human-caused climate change is already creating many weather and climate extremes in
every region across the globe. Vulnerable communities who have historically contributed
the least to current climate crises are disproportionately affected.

Transformational changes towards climate resilient practices are more likely to succeed when
they build on trust, where everyone works together to prioritise risk reduction, and where benefits and
burdens are shared among the people involved.
We work together with some of the communities most at risk and hardest hit by climate change
to strengthen their resilience. We engage with them in climate resilience actions targeting local capacity
building, raising local participation, diversifying livelihoods, and building networks and alliances. We
help communities through enhancing climate awareness and building knowledge, understanding and
skills around climate change impacts.
The following are some of the climate actions being carried out by our members:

HUMANA PEOPLE TO PEOPLE PEDAGOGY

is being practiced across schools and training programmes, in 74 educational
institutions and 172 other teaching and learning projects. It is also being practised
in training activities within other thematic areas.

Student | Teacher | Core Group

Humana People to People pedagogy is no spring chicken, but has 40+ years to its name.
When illustrating it, we start with the student as singularity and give them the core group.
In all our education programmes, students are organised in a collective, in a group, and the
teacher is an equal member of the group. Here individual and group goals are discussed, targets
set, new knowledge conquered, tears shed and laughter rolling. It is social, educational, productive
and emotional. It is safe haven for the individual student in times of demands and chaos, which is an
unavoidable and necessary part of growing with one’s education. It is here students and teachers hone
their skills in cooperation and co-living.

Knowledge | Understanding | Actions of change

Next comes the trinity of collective production of knowledge, understanding reality and
actions of change. Trinity, because it is not one after the other; it is the three of them together. They
influence each other. When we produce knowledge, it leads to better understanding of reality. When
we understand reality, it leads to production of more knowledge. Action of change must always have
knowledge and understanding as foundation – but at the same time, the very action of change deepens
our understanding and thirst for more knowledge. It becomes clear that the core group – including the
teacher – is indeed core, as production of knowledge is a collective affair, and so are understanding and
taking action.

Open Future | Living life living | Humana development | Happines | Production |

Planet Protection
In the outer circle there are indications of areas of life that thrives as a result of the two first
circles. The circle format fits well with the content – when writing about it, unevitably one element will
be mentioned before the other. But that is not how it works. Human development, production, living life
living, planet protection, happiness and open future are all interwoven and intertwined. So are our lives
– not in straight lines, not in orderly sequence, but lively, in dynamic and dialectic processes. And like
this, education should serve us in our lives.
