Ecological Citizenship Education in the Age of Climate Disaster -Focusing on S Elementary School in Cheongju-
The purpose of this study was to review the significance of ecological citizenship education based on Latour's discussion of climate disasters. In the 21st century, as new geographic-social problems overflow, the most urgent problem is climate disasters. Bruno Latour asks how to protect and maintain people's sense of belonging to the land, places, land, communities, spaces, sociocultural environments, ways of life, trade, and technology beyond 'modernization = globalization'. This is theoretically expressed in ANT, which emphasizes the exploration and consideration of between human spaces and social relics. Using Latour's discussion as an example of ecological citizenship education, we can understand the activities of students at S Elementary School in Cheongju in creating a sense of ecology. Students learn conflicting opinions ons regional development and environmental conservation, and personally visit Guryongsan Mountain in Cheongju to observe more than 20 species of plants and animals, including the American Zodiac. This activity is aimed at fostering democratic citizens, raising awareness of climate disasters, and developing practical skills for democratic citizens.
