Yesterday we had the privilege of welcoming Young Green Briton Challenge into school to run a project day with all our Year 7 students.
The Young Green Briton Challenge is a daring new initiative in its second year and is delivered as a partnership between Volunteers for Future, Social Innovation for All, the Ministry of Eco Education, and the Green Britain Foundation. It supports students aged 11-14 to learn and apply design, innovation, business, and other transferable skills, empowering them to explore local climate and sustainability issues and design entrepreneurial solutions (Eco-Ventures) or campaigns (Eco-Campaigns) to address the problems they identify.
Our students were introduced and given time to explore the local contributing factors and impacts of climate change. They then formed teams to create their own solutions to these root causes of climate change during the Design Sprint workshopdelivered by the YGBC team. The next steps now are for the students to develop their ideas even further as we compete in the competition against other schools.
Well done Year 7!
