Climate education in practice

The climate workshops connect daily life with greenhouse-gas emissions, food, transport and climate solutions. Participants compare options, discuss impacts and explore how personal choices sit within larger systems.

Nature education

Outdoor activities and creative methods such as Land Art help young people observe their environment, use natural materials and reflect on how ecosystems work. The ecosystem game demonstrates how the loss of one species can affect many others.
