Social and Environmental Justice SIG – English Teachers Association Switzerland

Helping ELT professionals embrace awareness, critical thinking, and action around global issues is the key focus of this ETAS group. For example, education is an essential factor in addressing climate change according to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The Social and Environmental Justice SIG has two main objectives:

to support and facilitate the efforts of English teachers in Switzerland to incorporate critical reflection related to social and environmental justice in their language classrooms by sharing and promoting creative and relevant resources, ideas, and approaches.
to guide ETAS as an association as it aims to reduce the carbon footprint of its activities and mitigate the effects of climate crisis on its members, and strives to be an inclusive association that promotes equality and respect.
