From Anxiety to Agency

FROM ANXIETY TO AGENCY: TEACHING SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH FUTURES THINKING You want to bring sustainability into your teaching, but where do you start? With an already full curriculum, limited preparation time and sensitive topics to navigate, sustainability education can feel like one more thing to fit in. You may also be wondering how to address students’ anxiety about the future without leaving them feeling overwhelmed or powerless. This practical Masterclass with Elaine will show you a different way forward. Using Futures Thinking, you’ll discover how to integrate sustainability meaningfully into what you already teach — without redesigning your curriculum. You’ll experience a practical activity you can take back to your classroom, explore ways to navigate sensitive or potentially political discussions, and consider how to move students from anxiety and uncertainty towards hope, engagement and agency. YOU WILL LEAVE WITH: ✓ A clearer way to integrate sustainability into your subject ✓ A practical activity you can use in your next lesson ✓ Strategies for approaching sensitive topics with confidence ✓ Ideas for helping students feel more hopeful and empowered ✓ Ready-to-use ideas and an approach you can adapt across topics and year groups Less time searching for what to do. More confidence to make sustainability part of the learning that is already happening in your classroom.
