Action for Conservation is a charity that runs youth environmental action projects with 12-18 year olds across the UK. These workshops consist of 3 two-hour sessions run by WildEd workshop leaders, building environmental knowledge, project management and teamwork skills.
The workshop is run by a team of young conservationists from across the world who bring their real-world experiences to the classroom and show students what being a conservationist can look like. The main purpose of the programme is action for conservation. These WildEd workshops help schools focus on ways to improve not only the environment within the local community, but also the school environment; as a healthy school environment benefits learning.
At AMSI, we are currently working on designing and leading our own environmental action projects, for example: tackling our use of plastic waste within the school.
The current group members names are: Jason, Craig, Luca, Malak, Grace and Harun
We are still recruiting other students to come on board to work on these exciting projects around our school community this term..
