In this free session, you'll be able to network with teachers from across Merseyside and we'll update you on resources available as part of the Ten Tonne Challenge.

We'll be joined by experts in climate change and sustainability from Oxfam, Gillmoss Recycling and Discover Centre, Studio Thrift and Hope For The Future:

John McLaverty is a youth campaigner for Oxfam GB. Oxfam works with schools and young people to help create a world without poverty. This includes producing curriculum resources for teachers to use in the classroom and supporting opportunities for young people to campaign and volunteer in their schools and communities. You can learn more at https://www.oxfam.org.uk/education/

John will speak about the 'Schools Speak Out' programme and opportunities for young people to learn more about why sustainable fashion is important and to plan events raising awareness about sustainable fashion among their peers.

Kirsty Martin is the Waste Awareness Officer at Gillmoss Recycling and Discover Centre which offers a unique visitor experience for education, community and uniformed groups. Kirsty will share what's on offer for school groups both at the centre and online. A visit to the centre allows groups to see how waste is collected and sorted - a Wallace & Gromit worthy machine!

Emma Summerscales is a local artist and maker who runs Studio Thrift, specialising in repair and reuse skills and 'visible mending' education and workshops.
