The latest GCSE results have led to renewed discussion on levelling up education across the country. As a matter of climate emergency, the enhancement of educational success must be considered within a context of sustainability.

Inherent in the educational system should be an understanding of how young people – the adults of tomorrow- can accrue the knowledge and skills to thrive in the green economy and help restore nature’s balance.

Young people should be secure in the knowledge that they can be agents of change for a greener, more sustainable future and not leave education feeling anger and despair at the destruction of our climate.

We have four speakers who are passionate about this subject. They are:

The national spokesperson on Education for the Green Party and Green Party Councillor on the Isle of Wight

James Boyle

A geography teacher and school sustainability lead, who has previously worked in youth work and taken part in environmental campaigns. James has also been elected as a Green Party Councillor in Chalford.

CEO of Sustainability and Environmental Education (SEEd) and award winning educator and facilitator.

Finance and Fundraising Coordinator from the Radical Youth Space for Education (RYSE), in Stroud.

Following the presentations there will be time for audience questions and discussion – we welcome everyone and the session is free.
