Friday 4th July 2025, 12.15-5pm, Lancaster University

We warmly invite all teachers, educators and educational organisations from across Morecambe Bay to this FREE conference! The focus this year will be on supporting Sustainability Leads and developing Climate Action Plans, which will be required by all schools, colleges and early years settings by the end of this year.

All participants will receive a Morecambe Bay Curriculum Climate Action Plan template and a delicious plant-based lunch!

We have joined with colleagues from Let’s Go Zero, Climate Ambassadors and National Education Nature Parks to support teachers to develop their Climate Action Plans with a joyful Morecambe Bay flair!

Speakers will include Dr Cormac Lawler (Climate Ambassadors North West Regional Hub Manager), Jenny Lobo (Senior Programme Officer - North West, National Education Nature Park) and Aurora Trujillo (Climate Action Adviser, Let's Go Zero). Sam Kendall (Head of School Learning, Eden Project) will also talk about how Eden has been supporting Climate Action Plans in school settings.

Join us for expert support, helpful resources, networking and comradeship. Together we can create plans and take actions that value our place and our people.

The full programme will be announced in the coming weeks.

Last year we completely sold out and had to turn people away, make sure you secure your spot!
