Sessions · Understand it, then act

A climate session that ends with a plan

Lots of teenagers feel anxious about climate change and don't know what to do with that feeling. I explain what's happening in plain language, give them time to talk about how it makes them feel, and then help them plan one small action they can start that week.

How it runs

Four steps

  1. 1

    What's happening

    The basics, explained clearly: what scientists agree on, what's still debated and what's just noise.

  2. 2

    Why here

    Students map how climate change shows up in their own town or city.

  3. 3

    Talk it out

    A guided conversation about how it makes them feel.

  4. 4

    Do something

    Teams design one realistic action and pitch it to the group.

Questions

Good to know

Online or in person?
Both. Most sessions are online, and I travel for in-person workshops and events, so ask me about dates.
Does a staff member need to be present?
For sessions with under-18s, yes, every time. It's one of my safeguarding rules.
Can you adapt a session for us?
Yes. We'll have a short call first so the session fits your group and what you want them to leave with.
What does it cost?
Single online sessions start at $250. Series and full days are quoted after a quick call.
