Are you a young person aged 18-30, passionate about climate change, and want to ignite, inspire and support young people to take positive action? Help us deliver climate justice workshops to schools in London.
We have interactive workshops designed by UKYCC to be delivered by young people for young people, that introduce secondary school students to climate justice. The two-hour workshop covers what climate justice is, how to cope with feelings of eco-anxiety, and how to take action by supporting them with a school-focused campaign. The teachers will be present throughout the workshop to support you in the delivery of the workshop and managing the behaviour of their students.
All the training you need to deliver the climate justice workshop, including classroom management skills, and how to facilitate group discussions amongst young people. Become part of our network of volunteers who are passionate about making a positive change in the climate space.
