Environmental Talks & Workshops for students
Students often find the current Environmental issues complex and difficult to identify and understand. Author, environmental educator and presenter, Caren Trafford has helped 1000s of students world-wide, relate to our impact on the environment. Her lectures and workshops encourage students to consider, discuss and ACT NOW to reduce our negative impact.
SUSTAINBILITY, WASTE, RECYCLING, CLIMATE CHANGE, REDUCING OUR ECO-FOOTPRINT
Giving students the confidence to "think outside the box" and to realize their own environmental plans, these fact-filled presentations encourage students to be adaptable, aware and even artful in reducing our global emissions, waste and pollution.
Tailored to tackle today's issues, the interactive work-shops stimulate debate, promote enthusiam and help students understand how to make a difference and become environmental heroes.

"I loved the positive nature of the environmental message & presentation. Too often it's all about doom & gloom." The students really enjoyed it. Thank you." Teacher, Rhodes PS, London.

As well as being a huge success with the primary children and parents, you had a great impact on our early teens too! Well done!
