Education Group

Eastbourne

HOW WE WORK

We are connected via WhatsApp group chat where you can always ask a question or request support
Core group meet once a month. The wider EEEN with all education institution members, parents and students meet every term
We offer free events for schools, colleges and educators

The Education Group works with Eastbourne schools, colleges and nurseries to reduce their institutional carbon footprint and to facilitate climate and environmental education in the younger generation and the wider community.

We have created EcoEd2030 bringing together teachers, students, parents, activists and environmental charities. We provide support, information and resources, such as on energy – solar panels, insulation, water use; transport – reducing car journeys during school drop-off; and biodiversity and carbon capture – tree planting, rewilding.

Taskforce Teams

We are currently putting together different taskforce teams for each of the campaign we are launching from September, which include our education group members as well as relevant members from other working groups and practitioners and providers (eg Ovesco are part of solar panel team; Living Streets and SusTrans reps in Transport group). Each team will work together to create a package that will make it easy and attractive for education institutions to make eco-changes. In all this we cooperate with the Eco Schools Programme, which we encourage all EEEN members to join, helping Eastbourne institutions to gain Green Flags.
Rapid Transition Alliance

During lockdown, we are providing schools with information about a series of eco Webinars for school children run by ECO Action Families.
