A community of educators empowering students to take climate action

 

 

 

Programmes

Our programmes create spaces in education to empower young people to take the lead in climate action. With the help of our partner organisations, we are helping educators bring topics around climate change and the environment into the classroom. 

 

Take a look at Transform Our World’s current featured programmes below. If you have a programme which could help create a new movement of young people, please get in touch using the enquiry form at the bottom of the page.

 

At the bottom of this list you will find some programmes that come at a cost - they are clearly marked with a pound (£) sign.
