Empowering the Next Generation of Environmental Changemakers

We believe education is one of the most powerful tools we have to protect our planet.

Through engaging, practical and solutions-focused programmes, we inspire young people to care deeply about the natural world — and to take meaningful action within their schools, homes and communities.

We offer a range of sessions delivered by our experienced team of educators.

You can choose from different flexible formats to suit your timetable, age group and goals — from assemblies to full-day immersive events.

Who is this for?

Each programme is age-appropriate, interactive and aligned with learning outcomes:

  • Primary Schools: Fun, interactive sessions designed to engage, inspire and empower pupils to take action.
  • Children’s activity groups: such as Scouts, Guides, after school clubs, children community events/fairs
  • Secondary schools & Colleges: Deeper exploration of key environmental topics to spark debate, critical thinking and informed discussion.

Outdoor Education

Connecting Young People with Nature

We believe that solving the climate and ecological crisis begins with fostering a genuine love and appreciation for the natural world.

Whenever possible we like our our education sessions take place outdoors to allow pupils to:

  • connect with and understand the importance of the natural world which we depend on 
  • strengthen their problem-solving
  • develop their creativity and independence

These sessions can consist of one or two environmental educators for a half or full day with specific classes and topics (see portfolio below) 

School Carousel Events

Whole-School Environmental Experience

These are usually full-day Carousel Events allow the entire school (depending on the number of classes) to participate in a rotating programme of interactive workshops to engage, inspire and educate.

  • Schools choose 3 rotation workshops from a range of curriculum-linked topics
  • We provide experienced educators and bring all materials needed
  • Students rotate through multiple sessions in small groups
  • Activities are hands-on, creative and discussion-led – outdoors /indoors
  • The day concludes with sharing action plans with the pupils families and providing school actions to enhance their mandatory Climate Action Plan
Mobile Eco Float

Fun, interactive, outdoors

In the spring of 2021, thanks to two grants from the Sussex Community Foundation (Welton Foundation) and Horsham District Council Community Climate Fund we purchased and retrofitted a 1974 milk float into our eco float.

You have the option to book our interactive mobile float featuring:

  • Informative environmental displays
  • Practical demonstrations
  • Hands-on activities
  • Music system & awnings x 2 for shade or main

We drive or trail the float depending on your location, it has everything we need to lead our session – we just need a spot to park on your school grounds/venue!

Testimonials

“An informative, interactive and immersive experience to change young minds!

The children were engrossed in the activities throughout, and I am sure they will go home tonight ready to make a change! The children were all able to recall the key messages and I am sure they will put at least one idea into action!”

“After a visit to my children’s school to deliver environmental education and install a Pollination Station, my son insisted we adapted the garden. Will have since added more pollinator friendly flowers, we grow our own fruit and vegetables, made a compost station, created an insect hotel from fallen trees, planted wildflowers and make a small pond which has frogs living in. Sussex Green Living has changed how we view our garden and created a huge interest in Sustainable living with my family. It’s wonderful, thank you.”

“Thank you for coming to our Beaver meeting last Friday. You pitched the session just right and the children loved the games and learnt lots about what to recycle. I am sure they will have taken home lots of ideas and told their parents where they were going wrong with their recycling!”

“Thank you to Sussex Green Living for the inspiring assembly session you delivered this morning and for the opportunity to see at first hand the delivery of a pollination education station. It was an uplifting morning and demonstrated what I think we all know, namely that children – even very young ones – are aware of the multiple threats facing our planet and the need for urgent action across the board.”
