PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Community events and workshops to enable families and school children to take action in their homes, schools and the wider world. We design fun and engaging activities as we recognise that doom and gloom can induce eco-anxiety. Children receive their Earth Action badge and certificate and become 'Earth Action Rangers'. We are offering schools assemblies, teacher training, workshops and after school family events, but we need grant funding as schools do not have the budget. Check out our film!
