  • Curious Minds, Resilient Futures

    CLIMATE MISINFORMATION

    For the generation inheriting the climate crisis, the truth was always going to be hard to hear. What nobody planned for was how hard it would become to find. This programme gives young people the tools to question what they are seeing, spot when they are being misled, and form their own views with confidence. Learn more

  • Climate Justice

    SOCIAL JUSTICE

    In partnership with The UK Youth Climate Coalition, helping young people understand how social justice is inherently interconnected with the climate crisis. Before they then build their own grassroots campaigns to activate change in their local communities. Learn more

  • Sustainable Consumerism

    FAST FASHION

    In partnership with Fashion Takes Action. Fashion is a huge part of young people’s lives, but it’s also one of the world’s most resource-intensive industries and contributors to the climate crisis. This workshop gives young people the chance to understand the impacts of the fashion industry and prototype ideas for change. Learn more

  • Protecting Wildlife

    CONSERVATION

    Delivered in partnership with The Born Free Foundation, we’re raising awareness of environmental issues and the threats facing wildlife, whilst supporting young people to identify positive actions they can take in support of wildlife conservation. Learn more

    DEVELOPING EMPATHY

    Why Animals Matter is a new workshop from The Empathy Project, delivered in collaboration with GenEarth. Together, we nurture children’s natural curiosity about animals while helping them grow in kindness, perspective-taking, and confidence in expressing their ideas. Learn more

What are teachers are saying?

"I was particularly impressed by the GenEarth team's energy and adaptability in working with a large cohort of students. They created an engaging environment that encouraged creativity, participation and critical thinking, giving students opportunities they may not otherwise have access to." - HEAD OF GEOGRAPHY, JUSTIN HILL BENFIELD SCHOOL

“The workshop provided students with a valuable opportunity to understand the environmental impact of fashion waste and empowered them to think critically about how they can become sustainable fashion leaders within their school and community. The interactive format of the session was a hit with students, who embraced the chance to take ownership of a real-world global issue.” - KINARI SHAH, KINGSDALE FOUNDATION SCHOOL

"The workshop was engaging, interactive and expertly delivered. Students responded really positively and were encouraged to think critically, share their views and engage with the topic in meaningful ways. Workshops like these are a valuable addition to the school curriculum, and we would welcome GenEarth back anytime." - SHAYAN AKHGAR, QUEENS PARK COMMUNITY SCHOOL

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs for teachers

  • All of our programmes are curriculum-aligned and co-developed with practising teachers. Our workshops connect to a range of subjects including geography, science, PSHE, citizenship and English, making them straightforward to timetable and relevant to what young people are already studying. We can provide specific curriculum mapping on request.

  • Our workshops range from 50 minutes to a half a school day, depending on the programme. We design for the reality of the school timetable, so most of our sessions fit within a standard lesson or can be scheduled as a standalone event. Get in touch and we can find the right format for your school.

  • We work alongside teachers, not instead of them. Before a workshop, facilitators are briefed and teachers receive everything they need to prepare the session and set context with their class. After, we provide follow up resources so teachers can continue the conversation and embed the learning. Feedback from teachers is also central to how we develop our programmes, we take it seriously and act on it.

  • We offer all of our programmes at low or no cost to state schools in London. We are very lucky to have the delivery of our programmes supported by wonderful partners who share our vision. Where we don’t have funding available we will quote a low cost for the workshop.

  • You can book Sustainable Consumerism here, Protecting Wildlife here, Curious Minds, Resilient Future here, Why Animals Matter Here or Climate Justice by getting in touch with us here.

  • Absolutely. While we're currently a small team, supporting teachers is a key part of our long term vision. As we grow, we plan to expand our offer thorough resources, CPD opportunities and spaces for teachers to connect, share ideas and learn from one another.

    We know teachers play a vital role in helping young people navigate an increasingly complex world, and we're excited to explore more ways of supporting them on that journey.
