Climate Workshop Facilitator: Primary Schools
Climate Ed
You will be playing a major part in inspiring and supporting the next generation to take action on climate change. Children 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 how they and their family can take practical action towards living a more sustainable lifestyle.
Climate Ed is a charity which offers primary schools volunteer-led workshops about climate science and action. What will you be doing? Starting from the new academic year, 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 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 how they and their family can take practical action towards living a more sustainable lifestyle.
