What the Eco-Action Week covers:
- Carbon Literacy Training – Developed by the Manchester Metropolitan University and The Carbon Literacy Project. Topics include climate change science, carbon footprints, a zero-carbon world, and action you can take. By the end you will receive an accredited certificate showing future schools, universities, and employers you are carbon literate.
- Leading Change for the Climate – The course leaders and project managers from the council’s Climate Emergency team will support you to design and develop a plan for a realistic climate action intervention. You will strengthen your research and communication skills and gain an in-depth understanding of how to go about making practical and behavioural changes in your community.
- Ecology techniques – The climate crisis will continue to alter the ecosystem of habitats across the world. Learn key ecological surveying techniques and skills that are used in careers across the environmental sector for monitoring the state of our natural environment.
- Learn from experts in different sectors – Each day will be led by experts from environmental education, conservation, political ecology. There will also be opportunities to learn more about green job options and how to take the next steps in your green career.
