What exactly do we do?

We teach children about climate science to inspire them and their families to take action. We do this by sending trained community volunteers into schools to deliver workshops about carbon literacy and the future beyond fossil fuels.

What's the vision?

We aim to give children the knowledge and motivation to get involved with the issue and discover that climate action can be fun. Through this we also aim to make children less anxious about the issue, by giving them a message of hope and positivity.

We've already achieved so much

So far, our volunteers have educated over 8000 children about climate change. On top of this over 3400 students have been through our in-depth carbon literacy programme.

We started off small and now we need your support to reach more students. We've got lots of volunteers and schools who want to welcome them. A lot of our volunteers are leaders in their fields - scientists, journalists, sustainability experts. We're currently working with primary schools across London, from Croydon in the south to Waltham Forest in the north.

We're responding to the immediate need for more teaching about climate in schools. 75% of teachers recently said they hadn't received adequate training to teach about climate change (YouGov Survey 2019). Our volunteers have energy, expertise and a great set of activities to engage children. Through video animation, drama role plays and art-based activities, we get them thinking about climate change in a fun, positive way, and taking small bite-size actions that feel manageable and worthwhile.
