This paper introduces arts-based participatory research combining decolonising and empathic transformative environmental pedagogies, in the context of climate mobilities education in Finland and Greece. It offers methodological contributions to existing research with emphasis on multimodal arts methods and the role of emotions. We introduce the dimension of empathic unsettlement as a vital element of the transformative unlearning-learning cycle, and child-centred play space as an ethical setting for these challenging educational processes. Our focus on climate mobilities brings together experienced and imagined climate-changed realities, the colonial history of climate change, and its current effects on places and people around the world.
