FoE Youth and Education Network
From FoEActivists
Welcome to the Youth and Education Network!
Friends of the Earth have a youth and education network for local group members. People join this network for many reasons:
- To inspire a new generation;
- To help young people make the global to local links;
- To offer advice and guidance to teachers and youth workers.
Some people give talks, run sessions, or help out with environment clubs. Others prefer to offer advice to teachers and governors.
This wiki is to help FoE local group members in their work with children and young people. You are very welcome to add to the 'Session resources' pages - please tell us what you have done, and load up your worksheets, plans and photos (with permissions). You might also have ideas to go on one of our other pages - please email these to us.
