 CLIMATE ACTION for YOUTH:

FOOD WASTE :

There are many simple ways we can reduce our food waste and this workshop explores why reducing food waste is vital for a healthy planet. Participants are encouraged to reflect on their own contributions to food waste before developing solutions to the issue.

 

 

WASTE WISE :

This workshop enables participants to truly understand how much waste they are producing. Through activities and group-work, we delve into the different types of waste, how they are commonly disposed off, how they should be disposed of, and why it’s ultimately harmful to the planet to live a high consumerist lifestyle.

 

BRIGHT ABOUT ENERGY:

This workshop looks at where our energy comes from and the environmental effects of depending on fossil fuels as our primary source of energy. Participants will look at ways to reduce their own carbon footprint by looking at hidden energy, the energy in waste, and transport.

 

GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP:

Critically engages with issues of what is equitable and just, and what will minimise harm to our planet. Exploring global citizenship themes enables student to grow more confident in standing up for their beliefs, and more skilled in evaluating the ethics and impact of their decisions.

 

 WATER WISE :

This workshop provides participants with information on how to responsibly use water, and discusses the hidden water involved in producing everyday items. It encourages communities to respond effectively to water pollution and reduce their water consumption by highlighting the ways people can reduce water waste in everyday life.
