In this episode we are following students around the North West back to school to see how topics around environment, climate and sustainability are taught in our classrooms. We will get a flavour of An Taisce’s Green Schools programme from Carbury School students in Sligo and Travel Officer, Dolores McWeeney.
We hear how three secondary schools in Sligo and Mayo are blazing a trail on environmental education by piloting a new leaving cert subject in Climate Action and Sustainable Development and meet a gaggle of different students from primary schools across County Sligo who have been helping to trial and develop a primary school workbook that uncovers the concepts behind the Sustainable Development Goals in a simple and direct way.
