Project Information

As part of the NSW Environmental Trust Grant ‘Climate Change + Me’ a basic web-based climate change personality profiler was co-designed with children and young people (http://climatechangeandme.com.au/survey/).  The web application has been highly successful with over 5,000 uses to date particularly in NSW and across Australia.   The original project team has been provided with additional funding (via the Australian Association for Environmental Education) to extend this work by co-designing a corresponding climate change app through a series of collaborative workshops. 
 
The project is being led by Professor Amy Cutter-Mackenzie-Knowles (Southern Cross University) and Dr David Rousell (RMIT).
 
We invite primary and secondary school students (ages 11-17) to participate in this project by submitting climate concern/s. We also invite adults of all ages (18 and up) to contribute climate concern/s. This decision to open up the invitation to adults was made by the children co-researchers who have co-designed the app. A concern is your own investigation or research. These climate concern/s will be included on the App.
 
Your submission will be anonymous. You may also elect a pseudonym (pretend name) so that you can personally identify your submission.  If you have any queries or would like to be informed of the research findings, please contact Professor Amy Cutter-Mackenzie-Knowles at:  ccandme@scu.edu.au
 
This project has been approved by Southern Cross University Human Ethics Committee; (Approval Number is ECN-17-002).

All information is confidential and will be handled as soon as possible.

Thank you.
