Creating a better planet
through fun, educational and engaging eco workshops

Secondary & Further Education Workshops

We know how much young people care about the environment. Our workshops introduce and connect young people with nature. We help them understand the science behind environmental issues and empower them to make a difference.

We are passionate about access to climate education as a tool for climate action.

Our secondary workshops offer older students the unique opportunity to engage with critical global issues; sessions are designed to develop key skills such as problem-solving, cooperation, emotional intelligence, and critical thinking. These interactive sessions empower young people through awareness, responsibility and action.

ecoACTIVE can join your school for an assembly, class, action day or event!
