In a new collaborative project, we\u2019ve teamed up with the University\u2019s School of Education and Cheltenham Education Partnership (CEP) to deliver a transformative and inspiring event that will support sustainability action and learning across 10 secondary schools in Cheltenham.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The collaborative summit event this summer forms part of a wider CEP initiative, <\/span>\u2018ChangeMakers\u2019; <\/span><\/i>which is empowering young people to take positive action for sustainability in their schools and communities. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Supported by the University\u2019s Learning Innovation for tomorrow (LIFT) fund, the summit will include a training package to equip students with skills to create change for sustainability through cutting-edge industry insights and examples of sustainability learning in action from across the University.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Drawing on University best practice in Education for Sustainability (EfS), the project will also help to drive curriculum changes in our School of Education and provide professional development resources for teachers and trainees, to equip them to integrate EfS approaches into their own practice.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Legacy materials will be available for all UoG course teams to support ongoing sustainability innovation.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This project is an exciting opportunity to empower young people not just to demand system change, but to be at the heart of making it happen. We\u2019re looking forward to sharing how our Education for Sustainability work is a powerful tool in helping young people to drive change now, and in their lives as future professionals.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Collaboration is key to sustainability, and we\u2019re excited to work with Cheltenham Education Partnership this year as one of our <\/span>RCE Severn partnership<\/span><\/a> projects.<\/span><\/p>\n
