🎅 DEAR SANTA... I'D LIKE A SEWING KIT FOR CHRISTMAS! 🎅 Just last week, our wonderful Aoife facilitated an upcycling module as a part of our Climate Literacy Course at Scoil Ide in Coolock. It was all of the students' first time sewing and up-cycling their clothes. Turns out they were all naturals! 🙌 One of the students had so much fun in the module that they told Aoife they now want a sewing kit for Christmas! 🎁 Students sewed, glued and cut to their hearts' desires to create amazing new clothes and accessories. Swipe through to see them being as creative as can be! If you want your school to learn hands-on, engaging and accessible sustainability tools just like these students, scan our QR code and register for our FREE climate literacy program starting in January 2025. 📩 #sustainability #education #upcycling #students #youthlearning #climateaction #sewing #repair #student #learning #sustainablelearning #climateliteracy #workshop #climateeducation #sustainableeducation #youthempowerment #peerlearning #experientiallearning #educationforyouth #climate

Education For Sustainability Founder Susan Adams joins the Digital Education Conference 2024 (DEC24) at South East Technological University today 🌱 Alongside Patrick Kirwan she's leading a workshop on "Empowering Conversations: Creating a Culture of Sustainable Action", exploring how to activate meaningful sustainability initiatives in our schools, workplaces, and communities. Drawing from EFS's work with 500 schools and 41,000 students across Ireland, Susan shares proven strategies for winning hearts and minds to create lasting cultural change for sustainability. The session focuses on practical approaches to empower individuals and organisations to move from awareness to action. The workshop, developed in collaboration with the Irish Schools Sustainability Network, demonstrates how local actions can create ripples of positive environmental impact throughout communities. To find out more about how to take action in your community, please get in touch with Susan at info@educationforsustainability.ie #Sustainability #ClimateAction #CommunityEngagement #IrishEducation #DEC24 #SETU

Today, December 5th, is World Soil Day. 95% of our food comes from the soil, and soil serves as a vital home for plants, as well as the nutrients that plants absorb to grow. It is clear that soil's role within our ecosystem is irreplaceable. However, soil health is more compromised than ever, with human activity leading to erosion and soil degradation and risking soil's ability to provide sources of nutrition for plants. This day serves as a call to action to foster space for agricultural methods that promote soil health and biodiversity. Methods such as crop rotation, organic matter addition, and cover cropping promote soil health, minimise pollution, and keep our plants well-fed and ready to grow. At Education for Sustainability, we're proud to promote activities related to the maintenance of healthy soil— see the photo in the background where students worked to add nutrients, plants and wildlife to their garden soil in the task of building a school micropond! Once again, happy World Soil Day. Let's continue to learn more about how to promote a healthy natural world and encourage biodiversity within our communities 🙌🌱 All statistics and information have been sourced from the most recent United Nations report on World Soil Day. #WorldSoilDay #Soil #Nature #NatureEducation #ClimateEducation #Education #SustainableFuture #EnvironmentalLeaders #LocalImpact #TogetherForOurPlanet

What's a sustainability squad? Alongside our standard climate literacy modules, this year, Education for Sustainability has piloted a new initiative called 'Sustainability Squads'! Sustainability Squads are made up of select passionate students in model schools that want to take even more action to implement sustainability in their schools and local communities. Swipe through to find out what these squads will be getting up to, as well as the resources and supports that are available to these students via our brand new programme.

Happy Monday to all as we reflect back on another great week that has passed at Education for Sustainability. As the weather has gotten chillier, our programs have moved indoors, and students are taking time to connect with one another, reflect on sustainable actions, and brainstorm ways to act more sustainably in their future. Swipe through our photos to see students engage in peer-to-peer learning, make a sustainable activities alphabet, and tangibly reflect on their learnings via our carbon hand activity and their own journal entries (with some pretty amazing reflections from two students at the end of their lessons!). We're delighted to see our students walk away with a plan of action to increase sustainable habits in their individual lives. To more sustainable learning and climate action, both now and in the future 🙌🌱 #ClimateLiteracy #Workshop #Sustainability #ClimateEducation #SustainableEducation #YouthEmpowerment #PeerLearning #ExperientialLearning #EducationForYouth #Climate
