A community-curated, place-based approach to learning about sustainability - encouraging and empowering children and young people to become the change-makers and innovators our planet needs.
About Morecambe Bay Curriculum
Together, we are exploring how we can weave sustainability and place into everyday lives around Morecambe Bay so that every young person can feel empowered to be a change-maker.
The Morecambe Bay Curriculum aims to ensure that all stages of the education system, from early years to further education, provide the green skills, knowledge, and behaviours required by businesses, and our communities, to respond to climate change. The Morecambe Bay Curriculum is supported and delivered by teachers, early years practitioners, researchers, health professionals and community leaders who recognise that a collective approach is critical to tackling the climate emergency and creating opportunities for young people.
The heart of the Morecambe Bay Curriculum is the community of educators, who together curate content and bring the project to life at a grassroots level. Children and young people explore the themes of environment, sustainability and place using the ecosystems surrounding the Bay as a classroom. Collectively, teachers are driven by their hopes for the young people with whom they work, and seek to prioritise their wellbeing, support their future careers, and ensure the Bay is somewhere everyone feels proud to live.
