The se include\, among others\, smartphones\, drones and open access satellite s on the one hand\, and the web 4.0\, GIS\, WebGIS\, geo-app and georefere nced data\, both open-source or proprietary\, on the other. This great var iety of tools\, accompanied by the sharing of new digital knowledge and sk ills\, have made the creation and management of spatial information much m ore accessible than it was in the past.\nThis has led to a proliferation o f processes for exploring\, creating and sharing geographical data from be low as a way for citizens\, that assume the role of neo-geographers or pro sumers\, to take part in decision-making in different kind of processes\, such as territorial\, environmental and climate change issues (Goodchild\, 2009\; Capineri et al.\, 2016\; See et al.\, 2016). \nHowever\, these are ongoing processes that have still to face technological\, cognitive and e conomic barriers. Universities with the use of open-source geo-information and communication technologies (Geo-ICTs) in enhance geographical learnin g should be a primary actor in supporting students and citizens in develop ing their own spatial thinking in a more efficient and engaging way (Käyh kö et al.\, 2021). In fact\, this is remarked also in objective 4 of the Sustainable Development Goals "to guarantee quality\, inclusive and equita ble education and to promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” an d many universities have signed the Higher Education Sustainability Initia tive (HESI) which commits them to integrate the concepts of sustainable de velopment into the curricula.\nIn this framework is involved also Universi ty of Padova (Italy) with its Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence on Climate Justice (Jean Monnet Erasmus+ project 2021-2023) led by the research group “Climate change\, territories\, diversities” (https://www.climate-jus tice.earth/). The Centre is trying to respond to the need of bringing the issues of Climate Justice and just transition from the EU Green Deal frame work into the dialogue between the academic world\, society\, and policy m akers. To do this\, it is carrying out different research and didactical a ctivities\, among which the development of a MOOC (Massive Open Online Cou rse) on GIScience for Climate Justice with the use of opensource and freew are Geo-ICTs\, that will be freely available for all before the end of 202 2.\nThis MOOC will provide videos and materials about practical activities concerning climate change and climate justice issues\, that the students can carry out autonomously using open-source and freeware tools. For every activity the workflow and a graphical abstract will be provided with aims and skills to be acquired and an introductive video with a real example o f use and suggestions about how to build collective projects of citizen sc ience. An auto-evaluation module will be available to students. MOOC will be tested with selected students and eventually adjusted before its online publication. A feedback and comment area to interact with staff members w ill be also available in the platform. The programme will follow learning by doing approach and is design to drive students through the main phases of a GIScience project:\n- The exploration and use of the European Platfor ms (e.g Earth Observation Portals\, Joint Research portals\, European Envi ronment Agency portals\, European Environmental Bureau)\n- The exploration and use of the Geonode on Climate Justice (https://research.climate-justi ce.earth/)\, the geo-platform of the Centre that will be available to ever yone with all the information collected by the Centre and the possibility to create online maps and to upload and share data by interested users or association groups. \n- The Collection and sharing of environmental and so cial information using geo-app and webGIS (e.g odk collect app and ona pla tform)\n- The exploration and use of Google Earth Pro and the OpenStreetMa p project Umap\n- The creation of storymaps to share climate change fighti ng initiatives and climate justice stories on the web (e.g knight lab stor ymap and geonode storymap tools)\n\nBy completing the MOOC\, students will learn how to autonomously update and increase their knowledge on climate change and climate justice issues\, learning to navigate and use European platforms and portals and to search for the documentation available in the European and international institutions. Practical activities will improv e skills of students and organizations of civil society to obtain and use data and information produced by European institutions\, to produce and sh are their own data\, and to prepare and manage collaborative projects for sustainability and environmental monitoring. \nOpen-source software will b e also the basis for the setup of the MOOC\, from its preparation using op en video editing and open document formats\, to its publication using the Moodle of the University of Padova. \nIn this contribution\, the theoreti cal background\, the entire methodology and workflow process for the prepa ration and dissemination of the MOOC will be presented and discussed\, wit h the aim to disseminate and share this experience to actors interested in developing similar activities of using of Geo-ICTs for Good.
