Becoming a Clean, Green, Educating Machine

About the webinar

This workshop starts by taking a brief look at the ways we can help our students adopt a greener mindset. The next stage of the workshop looks at some of the common objections teachers and students have towards the climate crisis in class. We then take a brief look at simple ways of "Greening" our classroom with practical ideas on what we can do and how we can address the objections made by colleagues and students.

This workshop gives you practical ideas and materials to help you include a sustainable spin to every lesson and shine a positive light on what we can do to help make a healthier planet.
