YOUTH SOCIAL ACTION

Environmental Programme

Develop the knowledge, skills and sense of agency to empower the participants to become life-long Green Influencers.

The aim of the project is to develop the knowledge, skills and sense of agency and even the sense of urgency, to empower the participants in our program to become life-long Green Influencers. We approach sharing and understanding of seemingly esoteric or arcane subjects like carbon literacy, environmental footprints and the promotion of sustainable practices with practical engaging scientific pizzazz. We work together to make learning fun and interactive.

GREEN PROJECT UPDATES
The Great Imagining - Cannock Chase
HAOS joined partnered with The Great Imagining - Cannock Chase, a council initiative with a launch event of Artworks, campaigns and information to inspire and empower the community to imagine a greener, fairer and wiser future. The Green Influencer group from Handsworth Wood Girls Academy teach carbon literacy to schools. This is the foundation to the campaign to get families and schools to reduce their carbon footprint by 10% this year and the green influencer group from Wattville Primary launch the No Mow campaign - encouraging schools to take part by demonstrating ‘the fruits of pollination’ with a smoothie bike on a recycled road with hand-made flowers.
