Climate-KIC is the European Union’s main climate innovation initiative.  It is one of three Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) created in 2010 by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). The EIT is an EU body whose mission is to create sustainable growth.

In 2017, our CEO Jen Baughan travelled to Amsterdam and Valencia (read her article here) to consult on Climate-KIC’s exciting new pilot ‘Green Innovation in Schools’, and this year we have been working in partnership to test a range of visual learning tools to encourage creative and critical project development.  These tools were originally designed for adult users to facilitate project management and idea development within the workplace.  However, Climate-KIC and S4TP saw the potential for such tools to be adapted for use with much younger students to support problem solving and project management within learning tasks.
