- Abstract
In the article "ECO: Inspirational Stories: Bringing Environmental Activists into the Classroom," Margit Szesztay discusses the importance of using stories of young environmental activists to inspire students in the classroom. Szesztay highlights the feelings of overwhelm and powerlessness that many students experience when faced with the climate emergency and sustainability issues. By sharing stories of young people making a difference, such as Sierra Robinson, students can feel empowered and motivated to take action. Szesztay also suggests using lead-in tasks before watching online talks to encourage thoughtful engagement and deeper understanding. Overall, the article emphasizes the value of incorporating inspirational stories into education to foster meaningful discussions and reflection.
