Welcome to Green Space 2025

Green Space was initiated as a key element of our commitment to social justice in education, recognising that this is one of the most pressing global challenges of our time.As teachers it is our responsibility to work with our students to understand the nature of this challenge, recognising that schools are at the heart of their communities and can be powerful catalysts for change.

Green Space is both an annual online conference for all trainee teachers at Warwick, and a resource to equip trainees, ECTs and teachers in school to develop high quality climate education across all subjects and phases. The next conference will take place on Friday 2 May 2025, and details of this event will be posted here in April. Before then, do look at the resources and case studies available here, as well as the presentations and work created during past conferences. Research tells us that students in schools urgently want us as teachers to engage creatively in this work, so I hope that this resource (which will be continually updated) helps you on your journey.

What previous attendees have said

I now feel much more confident approaching the issues of climate change and sustainability in a way that is both educational and sensitive
An eye-opening day which has provided us with lots of resources. I really appreciate the freedom to research and conduct our own learning with lots of useful waypoints to help us.
Overall, it was very thought provoking and informative in terms of how to teach about climate change in multiple primary subjects, to create an eco-culture within school where sustainability and climate change are key to our daily practice.
