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.

If you would be interested in bringing this programme to your school or becoming a volunteer, please get in touch.

Ofsted were intrigued and impressed with the opportunities it gave children to deepen their understanding of the world. It gave the school a broader curriculum.

Here are some of the questions we answer and discuss

​

  • What is a carbon footprint and how can we measure it?

  • Which has a bigger impact on climate change, a banana or an ice cream?

  • Why is it so hot on the planet Venus?

  • And could London really go underwater?

As a resident of Wandsworth, Climate Ed offers me a fantastic opportunity to help empower the younger generations in my own community to be the positive catalysts for change and inspire them to pursue careers that could help unlock innovative scientific and social solutions to the climate crisis in the future.
