- Develop a better understanding of ESD and why sustainability is an important part of teaching and learning
- Explore ways of developing a whole school approach to ESD
- Provide strategies, activities and ideas to develop ESD in your school

All things Green Ambassadors
Our Green Ambassador scheme helps to put your pupils at the heart of sustainability in your school. Meeting the Green Ambassador characters helps pupils to explore all environmental themes and connect the issues within their own school. Pupils develop ideas on how they can create a greener and environmentally friendly school, they also learn and develop important life skills, working as a team, presenting ideas to their peers, time management and budgeting plus many more. They also have access to a range of free supporting resources from surveys to help get them started, Hints and tips and themed resources for example our Plant2Plate (food related) resources.
We have a couple of taster resources for you to download.
To access the Green Ambassador resources just register your school.
