CONTENT OF ASSEMBLIES AND WORKSHOPS
Our assemblies offer a basic introduction to the issue of climate change and explore why our forests are important. The workshops are solution focused and highlight how Welsh pupils have the power to protect rainforests both collectively and individually; for example, altering purchasing habits. Our aim is to empower pupils with the knowledge that their individual and collective action can create positive change in the world.
- The duration of the assembly is approximately 30 minutes
- We usually deliver two 1 hour workshops
- We can work with up to three classes at a time providing there are staff present for general crowd control
Please note that the above timings are flexible. It may also be possible to offer larger schools more sessions.
WHAT SCHOOLS HAVE SAID
The pupils really enjoyed it and have learned a lot about rainforests. The session was particularly effective at raising awareness (my own included)

AND IN RETURN…
As we place an emphasis on empowerment and positive action we ask that pupils create a simple fundraising event/rainforest day of action in return for a visit. Pupils are led through the process of organising an event during the visit and are pointed towards online resources to help develop their ideas. They are then encouraged to choose which of our forest projectsthey wish to support. Information on how to submit donations can be found here.
