Now, more than ever, it is time for
us to unite and work together
to combat climate change. These
are incredibly challenging times,
yet they also present an
opportunity for schools to explore
the recovery of nature and
our environment alongside the
recovery of our communities.
Over the years, the school
community in H&F have participated in many projects designed to
develop their confidence, communication, and related skills. Now is the
time to showcase the incredible talent within your schools and let the
world know that we are ready to change it for the better.
In offering access to climate education within our schools we also offer,
with our key partners, the chance for children & young people to
champion a variety of related initiatives. We invite you on this journey
and know that by empowering children and young people we can help to
address climate change.
I know how passionate you all are about learning and your communities.
Your efforts will galvanise the climate change education agenda in H&F,
the UK and beyond and help to set the standard for new curriculum
developments with our ongoing support along the way.
I am so happy you are joining us and wish you every success as you
embark upon this important venture!
