Student Climate Change and Sustainability Conference in its Fourth Year
Posted on 10/06/2024Claire Robins, CEO of Scholars' Education Trust, kicked off the 4th Trust Student Climate Change & Sustainability Conference day with a welcome talk and a poem by Benjamin Zephaniah 'Imagine what we can achieve if we have hope and we believe'.
It was a privilege to spend time with young people who are so engaged with these important issues; their schools should all be very proud of them. Thanks to all the amazing speakers who gave up their time to join us on the day and inspire our pupils. Special thanks to the Cross-Trust Sustainability Working Group who put so much time and effort into making the day a success, and to Rothamstead Research for their support once again. Sustainability issues have been a key part of the Scholars’ Education Trust’s vision since our very earliest days and it’s great to see they remain at the heart of our work. A really fantastic day!
Some of our wonderful primary pupils learnt about pollinators as part of our Sustainability Conference. You’re never too young to protect the planet! School Eco Club members had a great time at the conference, participating in lots of activities and learnt lots about the importance of pollinators. Did you know that hummingbirds play a vital role in the pollination of many different species of plant life?!
