The Oxfordshire Schools Sustainability Network is for teachers and students from different schools to gather to discuss sustainability issues.
On October 12th, 15 students and 6 teachers gather at the Oxford University School of Geography and Environment for a fantastic session with the Oxford-based Climate Psychologists, Patrick and Megan. Their key take home message was to look after your own wellbeing now while working for a better future.
Students from Cheney School had been previously trained to run a “Climate Cafe”, a lovely activity in which people can share their thoughts and feelings about climate change in a safe space. These students ran a session for the other attending students. Everyone enjoyed it, and the teachers supporting them were moved by what the students had to say.
We were very grateful for the School of Geography and Environment for allowing us to use their fantastic facilities.
The next event will be on December 6th.
