Hello! This week we're coming at you from Stratford-upon-Avon with the first part of our conversation from the Live at the RSC Festival. We're talking about the current state of climate education and why there's a long way to go until we're hitting top marks. Thankfully, our three guests are here to keep us cheerful and tell us about the campaigning and work they've been doing to make a new climate curriculum a reality. We hear from Scarlett Westbrook who wrote a parliamentary bill while she was still at school, from Elena Lengthorn who's on a quest to make sure teachers are equipped to educate the next generation about the climate crisis, and from Mary Colwell, who recently won a decade-long battle to get a new Natural History GCSE in schools.Plus: Hit subscribe to be the first to hear our 300th episode conversation with David Tennant, out next Monday!This conversation was recorded at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre as part of the Live at the RSC Festival on June 3rd.GuestsScarlett Westbrook - Climate activist and writer of the Climate Education Bill (@ScarlettOWest)Elena Lengthorn - Senior Lecturer of Teacher Education, Worcester University (@ELengthorn)Mary Colwell - Writer, founder of Curlew Action and leader of the campaign for a Natural History GCSE (@curlewcalls)More informationLearn more about the work of the Royal Shakespeare CompanyLearn more about Teach the Future, the student-led organisation advocating for better climate educationRead about the Climate Education Bill and Scarlett's work on writing it, with MP Nadia WhittomeWatch Scarlett's TED TalkRead about Mary's journey to make the Natural History GCSE a realityThe correlation between nature connectedness and pro-environmental behaviour Hosted on Acast.
