Youth Council Climate Forum

Hello and welcome to our page! 

We’ve hosted 2 Climate Action events, scroll down to see al about our latest forum in August!

On Sunday 30th January we had a brilliant start to our Climate Action journey. We loved meeting so many of you at our first forum, learning about the issues, deciding what we could do to help and making our own pledges to fight Climate Change.

Even if you weren’t able to join in, take a look at the photos from the day and links to the activities, articles and films we used, plus some more useful information, and get involved, it’s never too late!

We saw how Adam from Blue Peter started making green changes to his daily routine. 

We found out about Green House gases and talked about how we travel affects the environment.

Sarah and her daughter Ellie came to tell us all about the Walking Bus at their school. Did you know it’s been running for 17 years!

We had fun playing the Recycling Game, Right Stuff, Right Bin and finding out about the Terracyle scheme for plastic that can’t go in the recycling.

We discussed all these ideas, and used our log books to record our thoughts and make our Climate Change Pledges.

What to do next?

Let us know how you are working on your pledges, send us an email with photos, projects, films, art work so we can share it here with everyone. Let’s work together to make the change!  YouthCouncil@fovps.org.uk

Keep using our Terracycle bins and remember Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!

Why not try the Blue Peter Green Badge Challenge

What a fantastic time we had with the Youth Council for our final Climate Forum. Such creative banners, posters and badges you all made. Did you spot everyone marching round the park in the afternoon?
Thanks to our volunteers and local artist, Mol,ly for helping out, and to everyone who came along and got stuck in. Watch out for more events and keep on Saving the Planet!
