To respond to the climate crisis, we need to engage as active, concerned citizens. We believe this starts in schools. To help you and your class build skills in climate action, we offer:

• In-school or online workshops for primary and post-primary students
• Teacher training events and webinars

Engage your students on climate action, biodiversity, and global citizenship!

Our interactive, participatory, workshops build awareness of climate issues, and motivate students to take action on these issues in an age-appropriate, hands-on way. Workshops are between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on your needs. Our current workshop themes are:

• Climate Action
• Global Citizenship
• Greenwashing
• Waste Wise
• Fast Fashion
• Water wise
• Energy

Your learners will be empowered with knowledge and skills that will help them take action personally, at school, at home and in their wider communities. During the workshop, students explore the root causes of our current climate emergency and identify practical, relevant examples of positive action. All our workshops are connected to learning outcomes in the national curriculum.

The Action on Global Citizenship programme builds teachers’ capacity to lead climate action in schools. Our teachers’ toolkit provides ready-made activities and resources to help teachers explore global themes. Our CPD sessions, in-person and online, familiarise teachers with key concepts in GCE and climate action. Finally, our Global Citizenship Education Facebook group is a space for teachers to share ideas, ask questions, and support each other.

Teachers who attend our CPD will learn some theory behind Global Citizenship Education, and practical, hands-on activities they can use in their next class. After training, participants will feel much more comfortable facilitating learner-led, whole-school action on a range of development and climate-related issues. Our Critical Themes series comprises one-off workshops that focus on specific themes within GCE and climate action.
