About Imagining Otherwise: Climate stories for an unwritten future

‘Imagining Otherwise’ is about telling better stories, that inspire us to see, feel, and act differently in the face of climate change. Across five episodes, the series explores how the arts, ethics, and school leadership can help us strengthen our sense of place and belonging as we navigate the challenges of climate change in our everyday lives, by offering a space for reflection, creativity, bravery and hope. Through sharing our collective stories, the podcast explores how we imagine creating a world where climate change no longer exists.

4. In their hands: young people, legacy, and the future of climate change education

Guests: Aanchal Thapa, Edie Bound and Tirion BrownIn this episode, Dami is joined by Tirion, Aanchal and Edie – three alumni of the London Wildlife Trust’s Keeping It Wild traineeship. Together they explore what it means for young people to build a genuine connection with nature and how that connection can inspire meaningful climate action.Through stories of folklore walks, outdoor learning and rediscovering awe in the everyday, they reflect on how climate change education can go beyond science lessons to include culture, creativity and care for place. The conversation highlights why balancing knowledge with emotional connection is key to helping young people face the climate crisis with hope rather than fear and how teachers can nurture that balance both inside and outside the classroom.

3. Leading with purpose: Culture and implementation for climate change education in schools

This episode focuses on the what and how of climate change education. Featuring Jenn Plews OBE, CEO of Northern Star Academies Trust, and Professor Jonathan Sharples, Professorial Research Fellow at the Education Endowment Foundation, the discussion explores why embedding climate change education into school life is not a one-off event but a long-term, strategic endeavour. Jenn and Jonathan reflect on what it takes to create a culture where high-quality climate change education can thrive. Drawing on evidence from the Education Endowment Foundation’s A School’s Guide to Implementation, they discuss why culture, leadership, and carefully planned implementation are critical to making climate change education meaningful and lasting. The conversation highlights the need for strategic investment, long-term thinking, and robust monitoring and evaluation to ensure that learning about climate change becomes part of a school’s purpose not a passing initiative.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
