Climate response
This activity supports young people to be able to respond confidently to the climate emergency and in a way that makes sense to them.
Learners think about the ways in which everyone can choose to respond to the current situation - whether they see themselves as Doers, Shoppers, Learners, Shouters or all of the above.
