FUNDING : Apply for the Cultural Change for Green Transition
According to the World Bank and UNESCO, increasing public understanding of climate change and its urgency can only be accomplished via education. People won't change their behaviour until they are conscious of the effects of what they are doing. Furthermore, studies have shown that those with lower levels of education are more susceptible to the negative effects of climate change.
As a result, the global Greening Education Partnership effort supports education's role in addressing the climate catastrophe. When curricula are made more environmentally friendly, pupils are better equipped to demonstrate their resilience in the face of climate change hazards. It also aids in their skill development and qualifies them for green careers. Education is important for students, but it also tries to raise awareness among the general public, governments, cities, and communities. Therefore, the cooperation for greening education is centred upon three additional pillars:
- greening curricula
- greening teacher training and education systems’ capacities
- greening communities
This Kick-Start theme's objective is to assess the financial and technical viability of space-based technologies that, by increasing public awareness of climate change and offering mitigation measures, spark cultural change. The main objective is to assist in the creation of a sustainable society and equip the following generation to handle the challenges of the future. Space-based solutions present a special chance to foresee weather disasters, exchange tools and knowledge, and educate people about the urgency of the climate issue.

Additional Information
ESA provides 75% of the funding for Kick-Starts, up to a maximum of €75K per contract. The suggested services have to make use of space-based technologies or satellite data.
With the theme "Cultural Change for Green Transition," this call for Kick-Start activities is open to businesses that want to create space-enabled services and applications that support the cultural shift by bringing attention to climate change and offering mitigating measures.
