Climate Action Club student guide

A climate action club is an extra-curricular club for students aged 11 to 14 to work on engineering or technology-based projects taking action to reduce a school’s and/or a community’s contribution to climate change. We recommend it take place once a week either after school or during lunch, and we provide resources for students to undertake their own projects on a range of themes. 

The climate action club resources are designed to: 

  • Be action focused 
  • Develop employability skills
  • Celebrate success 

 

The aim of this resource is

  • To enable students to run their own projects

 

This resource includes: 

  • Ideas for projects in biodiversity, energy and sustainable food
  • Creating a vision statement
  • Skills assessment
  • Teamworking skills
  • Staying positive and problem solving
  • Guidance on next steps
  • Skills based and practical activities
