These engaging activities for students aged 11-16 help learners to learn, think and act in response to climate change. Each activity pack includes ready-to-use activities for teachers that can be easily added to lesson plans or used as standalone sessions, with context and background information that can be shared with learners before starting each activity. The accompanying slideshow can be used alongside the activities, to help facilitate the lesson with visual aids.
Learners will:
- Discuss ideas, thoughts and feelings about climate change.
- Think critically about the importance of climate education.
- Learn about some of the inspiring ways in which Theirworld’s Global Youth Ambassadors are using education to unlock climate action.
- Work collaboratively to act for the planet in your school and community.
To help teachers integrate the activities into their lesson plans, there are curriculum links for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, but the resources can also be used outside of the UK.
