Foundation Pupils Make Plans For A Mock Climate Conference

It was the first time that the schools’ eco teams had met so they began the session by sharing their environmental activities and achievements within their respective schools. Pupils then broke into mixed school groups to generate ideas and activities for a Foundation Schools’ Mock Climate Conference that will take place alongside the United Nations COP30 that is taking place in November this year.

Pupils’ passion for the environment was clear to see with lots of creative ideas for conference activities that would raise awareness, educate and engage the wider school communities with sustainability. From a headmasters’ question and answer panel to environmental competitions and games, hearing from external speakers, to planting activities, setting recycling challenges to climate conversations, it was great to see our young people engaging actively and coming up with so many innovative and great ideas.

It was a very productive meeting for all involved. It was inspiring to see pupils' enthusiasm for tackling climate change.
