Knowing Nature Podcast
We’re so pleased to share with you this lovely podcast from Knowing Nature featuring our very own program manager Catia.
In it she talks about empowering students to take action on environmental issues, and what’s involved in her long-term projects connecting students with nature.
As she explains, projects usually begin with a session exploring an issue like waste or climate change. Following sessions will explore different aspects of the problem and generate ideas for ways students can address the issue in their own lives or in the school environment. Sessions will look at developing and implementing an action plan, with EcoActive supporting students and the school.
Here’s an example for how to start with your own Solutions Focus and Action Planning session with a group of young people:
Look at actions which are being taken by other people or organizations
Break down the problem into small achievable steps
Refocus big, global problems on action which can be taken in students own lives and local environments.
Identify aspects of the problem: Obstacles, Actions, People to speak to
