A comprehensive Learning Resource Pack has been created to help you – the teachers and youth group leaders - to deliver the educational programme that lies at the heart of the Make the Link – Climate exchange project. For more information about how to link the Learning Resources to the website make sure your school or group has been signed up.
The Learning Resource Pack includes seven unit plans, each containing activities that can be adapted for different age groups, subject areas and abilities. The pack will facilitate active learning about climate change and help build the skills and confidence that young people will require to start taking action locally, nationally and internationally.
The seven units covered by the learning programme are:
