1. Climate Basics

Build the confidence to teach sustainability well.

A practical introduction to climate change, sustainability and the concepts teachers need to navigate the subject confidently. Participants turn complex ideas into accessible learning, helping learners understand why sustainability matters to their lives, communities and future employment. The longer-term aim is informed, confident teaching rather than sustainability being avoided or reduced to occasional activities.

2. Engaging Learners

Turn sustainability from a topic into something learners want to explore.

This workshop develops practical approaches for making sustainability active, relevant and learner-led through projects, challenges and real-world problems. Teachers explore ways to connect environmental issues with learners’ interests, communities and careers—building participation, curiosity, problem-solving and the confidence to take meaningful action

3. Evidence Literacy

Help learners distinguish evidence from assertion.

Climate and sustainability debates expose learners to statistics, claims, competing interpretations and misinformation. This workshop helps teachers build learners’ ability to question sources, interrogate evidence and reach reasoned conclusions. The longer-term value extends beyond sustainability: stronger critical thinking, digital literacy and confidence in navigating complex information.

4. Lesson Design

Make sustainability part of great teaching - not another thing to teach.

Teachers explore practical ways to integrate sustainability into learning outcomes, activities, assessment and existing schemes of work. Rather than adding disconnected “green” content, the workshop helps staff design purposeful learning where sustainability strengthens the subject itself - creating lessons that are relevant, applied and connected to learners’ futures.

5. Structured Dialogue

Give learners the tools to discuss difficult issues well.

Sustainability raises complex questions where evidence, values, economics and competing priorities collide. This workshop develops techniques for facilitating thoughtful, respectful dialogue rather than telling learners what to think. Learners gain confidence in listening, questioning, challenging evidence and constructing arguments - capabilities that support citizenship, employability and informed decision-making.

6. Vocational Linking

Make sustainability matter to the job learners actually want.

Teachers identify where sustainability is already reshaping their industries and translate this into authentic curriculum opportunities. From construction and engineering to business, hospitality, health and beauty, learners see how resources, technology, regulation and working practices are changing—and why green knowledge, behaviours and skills increasingly matter to their employability.
