Climate change, its consequences and adaptation/mitigation strategies are a complex issue that necessitates inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary solutions. Then, educating for climate is a complex task. In this way, Universities could offer a great substrate to launch any societal change. How to cultivate the « Thinking and Acting ecologically », a climate awareness and education over youth students community? Dealing with the complex problem of climate change requires creativity, scientific and social competencies and specific communication skills in order to cope with the dynamic change that characterizes its impacts in most facets of society, economy and nature. As a core characteristic of this ‘‘real-world problem’’, the cooperation among students, teachers and researchers of the university and the interaction with stakeholders of the region, the state and the globe, is of outstanding importance. For us, in high education, teachers and researchers have to abandon the role paradigm of the teacher as provider of information and the students as ‘‘consumers’’ of the provided information. In Morocco, a first approach is conducted in university context through a project called “L’Effet Papillon (Butterfly effect)” (COP22, 2016). The project aims to cultivate the ecology awareness and commitment over the student community. For that, we used the inter-disciplinary peer based-education through the students clubs to develop a three steps tool for climate-education: Sensibilizing-Training-Tooling. Student experience and live the process of changing for climate instead of purely memorizing its characteristics and challenges. The process of educating for climate and sustainability and practical applied actions therefore becomes more effective.
