The Climate Wellbeing Project
Rowanbank Environmental Arts & Education is offering secondary schools in the central belt of Scotland an incredible and FREE learning opportunity for both teachers and pupils to experience our new climate education programme.
The Climate Wellbeing Project will tour to a limited number of schools in March 2024, as part of the Scottish Government’s Climate Engagement initiative, which aims to deepen people’s understanding of the climate emergency and help mobilise climate action on the ground.
An innovative creative climate education programme fusing storytelling, circus, music, theatre and environmental science. We aim to empower action around climate change in an informative, meaningful and positive way, with a focus on wellbeing. The Climate Wellbeing Project addresses climate change, biodiversity loss, nature connection, eco-anxiety and mental health.
Thanks to funding from the Climate Engagement Fund to trial this new initiative, we are able to offer 20 schools this unique learning experience for FREE! (The cost in future is around £2,000 per school).
Expression of Interest applications are now open until 27th November 2023. We need you to answer a few short questions to complete your registration, and we will be in touch to discuss the project in more detail if your application is successful. Please note that we will be reviewing applications on a first come first serve basis, and due to the high demand expected, we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.
The Climate Wellbeing Project is part of the Scottish Government’s Climate Engagement initiative, which aims to deepen people’s understanding of the climate emergency and help mobilise climate action on the ground. The project has been funded by the Climate Engagement Fund and developed and facilitated by Rowanbank Environmental Arts & Education. The Climate Engagement Fund (CEF) is a key deliverable against the Net Zero Nation: Public Engagement Strategy for Climate Change, which is a statutory requirement under the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009. It will also support the delivery of the Scottish Government’s Climate Change Plan, Scottish Climate Change Adaptation Programme 2 and Just Transition commitments at a sectoral and place-based level.
