Our school festivals are fully funded for state schools and are a revolutionary way to get your students engaged in world issues and prepared to take action as active global citizens!
Over the day, they’ll be empowered to be part of the solution to the biggest challenges facing our planet – from climate change to nature recovery to plastic pollution. The day features a series of exciting workshops and talks – from the chance to question their MP in person, to endangered species artivism, to designing the green cities of the future. They’ll get the chance to explore our marketplace of local green business and organisations, gaining inspiration for future green careers, volunteering opportunities and work experience. Finally, they’ll finish the day working as a team to design an eco project to carry out at school to create positive change for the planet. Things don’t end there, as we provide ongoing support to students to help them make their eco project plans a reality.
Students finish the day with newfound confidence, new friends, and the knowledge that they can use their unique voice and skills to change the world for the better.
Welcome from Amy
We welcome all the schools to the Festival, and get you excited for a day discovering how to be a changemaker.
Tackling Eco Anxiety
How does growing up in an era of climate change make you feel? How can you turn feelings like frustration and empathy into your climate superpowers?

The chance to have a conversation with your MP! Ask your burning questions and learn how to use your voice to make impact.

Our Festivals rely on people like you!
By running a workshop at our Festivals, you’ll engage school students in how to take action for climate change and social justice. You’ll inspire the next generation of active global citizens, give opportunity to students from all backgrounds, and make great connections with local schools and other organisations.
Get in touch today and speak to us giving a talk, running a workshop or holding a stand in the marketplace.
Everyone has a part to play in climate action, so it’s important to us that our festivals are accessible to everyone. Our venues are accessible for disabled students, and we are working with our Youth Advisory Group to ensure that the activities reflect the needs of all young people. Festivals are fully funded for state schools, and are designed for KS3-KS5.
