Climate Workshop Facilitator
Climate Ed
Deliver climate workshops to primary school children.
A chance for you to inspire children and their families to take action on climate change by reducing their carbon footprints and leading a more climate-friendly lifestyle. All resources and training provided. What will you be doing? You will go to a primary school in London to deliver a workshop programme about climate change/carbon footprints and inspire the children to start taking action on climate change! More specifically, this involves: - Undertaking a short training to gain familiarity with the workshop materials (this can be done remotely). - Delivery of a programme of workshops (five in total, each lasting one hour) during school hours. (You won't manage the students alone - the teacher remains with you the whole time). - Providing feedback to Climate Ed about the effectiveness of the programme. - Conducting a follow-up evaluation with the workshop participants two months after the end of the programme to see how much CO2 they have saved. What difference will you make? You will be playing a major part in inspiring and supporting the next generation to take action on climate change. Children in schools desperately want to know more about climate change and be given the chance to engage with it, but they need enthusiastic, positive, knowledgeable people to guide them. You will be helping children learn about climate science and the impacts of a warming planet, and also how they and their family can take practical action towards living a more sustainable lifestyle.
