Your school can help tackle climate change
Climate Ed is a charity offering free education to children about climate change and carbon literacy
We offer free climate workshops to primary schools in and around London, Birmingham and Oxford.
We source schools who would benefit from our workshops and volunteers with the expertise and passion to deliver them.
Our workshop programme consists of five one-hour workshops, suitable for Year 5 or 6. It doesn't matter if your students are new to climate change or not; we guide them through the key things they need to know.
​​​
Our programme addresses key areas of carbon emissions and reduction including transport, food and general consumption and children are helped to find solutions that they can take at home to tackle climate change. The children learn practical skills like measuring a carbon footprint, thinking critically about social and environmental issues, and debating and making reasoned arguments - our programme therefore aligns well with citizenship aspects of the curriculum.
The programme is delivered by volunteers who are passionate about the subject and often have specific expertise through their work or studies. They aim to inspire young people to take an interest in climate change and begin taking action on it.
