PlanetA.Schools Information Session

You're invited to Young Change Agents PlanetA.Schools Information Session!

Learn how this program can support your students to become sustainability consultants and what other schools have been able to achieve through the program.

About PlanetA.Schools

PlanetA.Schools provides a unique opportunity for young people to address one of the world’s most pressing issues - the climate crisis!

This program supports students as they tackle an environmental issue at their school based on the topics of: Water, Waste, Emissions, Energy, Food and/or Textiles.

It's a four-stage program with 40 lessons that will empower young people to be immersed in environmental impact-related problems, identify ways to track their impact, launch campaigns, and influence their community to reduce their impact.

Students will launch their own social enterprise: a sustainability consultancy with the school as their first customer, who will provide a real brief on how to improve one or more aspects of sustainability on the school grounds.

This information session is for educators who are interested in learning more about this program and what it entails. In the session, you will go through an overview of the program, what students/schools it’s best for, and run through an activity from the program to give you a taste of what it will be like. 

PlanetA.Schools is a teacher-led program, best run over a semester or year. It's the perfect program for schools that are trying to provide an entrepreneurial experience that focuses on and supports students to tackle climate-related challenges relevant to their communities. It is suitable to be run as an integrated project, with students drawing on what they are learning in other subjects such as HASS, Geography, Science, Maths, and Business.
