Free Secondary Learning Programme: Make the Link Climate Exchange

The Citizenship Foundation and Plan UK are launching a new programme in September 2010 – Make the Link Climate exChange - placing UK secondary schools in the centre of the Climate Change debate through learning, dialogue and action.

They are looking for schools who want free teacher resources on climate change aligned with KS3 & KS4 curricula in Geography, Citizenship, ICT, Languages and Media Studies. Young people will be able to connect through an interactive website with African and European countries to encourage debate and learning about the direct impact of climate change. They will also be trained in leading their own campaigns.

Join the programme now by contacting the Climate Change Education Officer:
