Investing in curriculum resources for schools can be a very effective way of communicating messages on sustainability to wider audiences for local authorities.
Not only do the children in schools benefit, but you can also effect behavioural change in parents and the wider community, especially when school activities are promoted in the local media. This might be part of your responsibilities in supporting the sustainable schools agenda. Or you might simply be looking for more effective ways to change adult behaviours on recycling, transport, energy, or to promote Fairtrade. Children are great ambassadors - enlist them to communicate the message!
WyEd creates teaching resources for primary schools which communicate your key messages through the curriculum, in formats that teachers find easy to use. For example, we created resources on Walk to School for the Environmental Transport Association, and a pack promoting voting for Derby City Council.
If you have a target to meet, or an issue for which you want to raise awareness, please do get in touch. We can create a resource that you can then provide for the schools in your area. Perhaps you want to visit schools yourselves and just need the resources. We can help.
