Climate Ready Classrooms for Primary Schools is a series of workshops and activities, delivered on a local authority basis. By taking part, pupils will gain an understanding of the climate emergency and biodiversity crisis and take action to address these issues.
Climate Ready Classrooms Primary is offered and tailored to local authorities, who then confirm a date/s and engage their schools to take part. All primary schools within a local authority are invited to attend. The course can be run as a single day, or as three workshops spread over days or weeks.
This course is an engaging way for schools to meet the requirements of the Scottish Government’s Learning for Sustainability Action Plan, incorporating sustainability education, global citizenship and outdoor learning.
