About this event
Please note this event is aimed at Devon based Teachers and school adults ONLY
On the 29th June between 4-5pm Education Manager Emily van de Geer from Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) will be providing an overview of the SAS Plastic Free Schools Programme, how to join, what you need to do and lots of resources, activities, real life examples and support to help your school go plastic free!
Plastic Free Schools is a nationwide movement set out to eradicate single-use plastic from our environment. It will help pupils understand the issues with plastic in the environment and teach them to spot single-use items, question whether we need them, and replace them with something better. It’s all designed to help children learn first-hand the power of their own voice while creating lasting environmental change from the playground to parliament!
Then hear from the Devon Waste Education team about how their free resources and workshops (available online at http://zone.recycledevon.org) can help support your school to become plastic free, reduce waste and recycle more.
This free one-hour webinar session for teachers, TAs and other school-based staff will leave you enthused and motivated to help students green up the school and learn more about the environment, while pursuing student-led projects that can help save the world.
Surfers Against Sewage: We’re a charity of water lovers campaigning to protect the ocean and all it makes possible, by taking action on the ground that triggers change from the top. For people to thrive and live life to the fullest, the ocean must thrive too. And so we need to confront all that threatens it. Plastic. Sewage. Industrial exploitation. Climate change. In building and connecting communities of Ocean Activists motivated to make a difference, we gather the evidence and give voice to the issues that hold leaders to account. Today, we’re more than surfers. It’s more than sewage. We’re here because of the ocean. Let’s fight for it.
