Do you want to inspire young people to change the world for the better? Our Green Careers workshops teach transferable future skills, develop confidence and show students that no matter what they want to be, they can make a positive difference for people and planet. We believe that any career can be a green career – and we’ll empower students by showing them that green jobs present huge opportunities for exciting careers AND making big impact.
We have 3 different workshops on offer:
Pathways to A Green Career – take on our brand new board game (also available as a giant lawn game), before learning how to put all your skills and experiences together in preparation for real life job applications in our CV-writing masterclass.
What Is A Green Career? – through a series of interactive activities, we’ll answer all your questions on green careers: what are they, how do I get one, and what IS a green career? Our team of facilitators are experts in ‘squiggly’ green careers – the answers may surprise you and reveal more possibilities than you ever imagined.
Innovate for a Greener Future – how can businesses change the world for good? We start with a discussion about creating purpose and impact-led businesses, and explore some real world examples of successful sustainable businesses leading positive change. Next, we’ll give students the chance to put their teamwork, creativity and presenting skills to use as they work together to design and pitch their own world-changing business or innovation.

Eco-City 2040 Roleplay
It’s 2040, and your city is facing a perfect storm of environmental challenges. The mayor needs urgent action — but there’s no single solution. Can your team of green career experts design a plan for a sustainable future?
Elli is our resident earth science expert. She has a degree in Archaeology and 15 years of experience teaching Geography at secondary school. On top of this, she’s lead numerous school tours to her favourite place on Earth, Iceland, scaling glaciers to show students geography and climate change in action. She blends her scientific knowledge with her passion for interactive and often surprising education (soil sniff test, anyone?) – and has developed a series of workshops which are as fun as they are informative. When not running workshops, she can be found travelling the UK in her trusty campervan, Minerva, hiking in the Yorkshire Dales or Peak District, or with her nose in a good book.
It may surprise you to learn that Gemma’s PhD is in dance – but this fact makes her a fantastic communicator, and an expert in getting students involved and engaged in active learning. Since moving from performing arts to environmental education, Dr Gemma has spent several years communicating with the public on ocean conservation, which has made her something of a self-confessed marine nerd. With her creative mind, Dr Gemma stops at nothing to get students excited about protecting the planet – including dressing up as an inflatable Mother Earth at one of our school climate festivals.
Amy is our Founder and CEO, and the person who dreamt up the very first Another Way workshop! Since 2016, she’s been working on the ground with young people, inspiring them with her infectious enthusiasm for the planet – in fact, many have told us that a talk from Amy kickstarted their involvement in the environmental movement. Amy is a marine biologist by training (favourite animal: sea slug, specifically Polycera quadrilineata) and has countless stories of adventure in the natural world. She is an expert in facilitating in-depth conversations on all sorts of topics, from debunking climate myths to eco anxiety – but always with a feeling of joy and hope.
Our workshops are backed by leading climate and education scientists, and are just the right blend of inspiration, information and interaction. Students who have taken part in our workshops have gone on to start their own initiatives, fundraising events and volunteering positions.
Everyone has a part to play in climate action, so it’s important to us that our workshops are accessible to everyone. We’re adapting our workshops for SEND schools, and working with our Youth Advisory Group to ensure that our activities reflect the needs of all young people. Workshops are fully funded for state schools and most youth groups, and are designed for KS3-KS5.
