A little bit about Eco Group

The Eco-Group shares its knowledge of education for sustainability and good practice with local and national schools. It enjoys a plethora of benefits linked to promoting Sustainability initiatives within its school community and the wider community. It works in partnership with the Lancashire Schools Sustainability Forum.
Not only do students fully participate in all learning activities on offer at the conference and have in the past delivered peer to peer workshops, but many help to set up the venue and support the Conference Facilitator run the programme which aims to ensure teachers and pupils experience a varied range of activities and ideas in just one day. This year senior students will take on the role of Conference Stewards. They will engage with their given group of primary school children (supporting their learning, ensuring inclusion, participation and a sense of well-being). The Eco-Group will showcase some of its projects in the Marketplace.

I took charge of a group of younger children acting as a group leader. We had a good time exploring the marketplace activities. I enjoyed meeting Ellie and Amy and learning about Kids Against Plastic.
