Abstract
Weather (and football) are subjects where more specialists exists than citizens. The social awareness concerning climate changes ranges from complaints about scientists “that do not understand simple things that my grandmother already knew” to worldwide strikes of young people against global warming. The FCHGo Project was created to move past these two extremes: it is meant to demonstrate the necessity and technical solutions for not only mitigating climate changes and local urban pollutions, but to for changing our way of thinking at the very basic level, starting from early primary school.The difference between this and many otherapproaches to teaching about climate, regenerative energy, and hydrogen technologies is that we insist on understanding the concepts of energy conservation, energy carriers, and energy dissipation. We do this by using a narrative approach, via simple stories children can understand, that refer directly to nature (a story of an apple, an animated story of a perpetuum mobile, etc.), and interactive, simple experiments. The project involves Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark and Poland: in each country the social awareness and the technological needs are different, so have created targeted contents. In didactic experimentation to date, the involvement of teachers and the enthusiasm of pupils contributing with their drawings, stories, and spontaneous playing with experiments is strongly encouraging.
