What happens when I invite People & Planet into my school or college?

A member of the People & Planet team will visit your school to run a workshop on Climate Change or Fairtrade clothes. Those students who are inspired to take action will then be invited to attend a follow up session that is normally arranged for the following week. A member of the People & Planet team will then help the students to organise themselves into creative campaigning group.

People & Planet groups have done all manner of activities in Schools and Colleges:

  • held assemblies

  • opened fairtrade cafes

  • started recycling schemes

  • Achieved Fairtrade status

  • Switched schools to renewable energy
