This paper documents a collaborative, multi-site participatory action research project in collaboration with children to act on climate change within local community settings. The project was an after-school program that combined hands-on climate change educational activities with photovoice, a participatory action research method that uses digital photography as the basis for problem identification, group dialogue, and social change action. Grounded in transformative sustainability learning theory and integrated with an arts-based participatory action research methodology, the program was designed to strengthen children’s climate change awareness and sense of agency through youth-led action projects. After describing the program, this article details the collaborative action projects designed and carried out by 10- to 12-year-olds in each community (e.g., policy advocacy, tree-planting, community garden) as well as how the program facilitated children’s constructive climate change engagement through children’s enjoyment and agentic action. The critical importance of participatory process and collaborative action in strengthening children’s sense of agency is discussed.

重塑我们的世界：与儿童合作开展基于社区的气候变化行动

本文记录了一个与儿童合作的多站点协作行动研究项目，以在当地社区环境中应对气候变化。该项目是一项课后计划，将动手进行的气候变化教育活动与photovoice相结合，photovoice是一种参与式行动研究方法，使用数字摄影作为问题识别，群体对话和社会变革行动的基础。该计划以变革性的可持续性学习理论为基础，并与基于艺术的参与式行动研究方法相结合，旨在通过青年领导的行动项目来增强儿童的气候变化意识和代理意识。描述程序之后，本文详细介绍了每个社区的10至12岁儿童设计和实施的协作行动项目（例如，政策倡导，植树，社区花园），以及该计划如何通过儿童的社区活动促进儿童参与建设性的气候变化享受和代理行动。讨论了参与式过程和协作行动对于增强儿童的代理意识至关重要。
