We invite lecturers from higher education institutions participating in the Baltic University Programme (BUP) to take part in BUP Teacher Day 2026, which this year will be held under the title ‘How to Deal with Eco-emotions – An Interactive Lecture for University Teachers’.

Do you or your students have emotions about climate change, environmental issues, or the future? How do you deal with them? Welcome to this interactive lecture, where you will learn more about how to address, express and handle eco-emotions. We will give you tools to engage with emotions and build active hope – for yourself, your students, and your community.
