Student Climate Action Group Program

What's the bigger picture in your personal life, at school, uni, in neighbourhood? What is the world you would like to see, where do you fit in and can you play your part in realising this dream?

Practicalities: How can you communicate this dream, principles, through the tools we have (school, social media)

Personal: In day to day life, what habits are you going to deliberately develop to reflect your values?

Some skills you can put on CV or university applications - social media manager, editor, copywriter, photographer. The stuff you create, you can use for a portfolio

Practical goals to work on September 2024

Spread awareness and advocate to your audiences (you define them) for more climate action at your place of learning.

Can you team up and share the load?

Run a social media campaign, run a real-life campaign, share roles, create a schedule

Check up every 2 weeks with EcoCounts video calls, more workshops...
