Climate Change workshop: 23 - 24 June 2025

The subject of climate change could not be higher on the agenda for educators. Earth Summit is a highly informative and engaging event for all key stage 4 & 5 students, with strong links to a range of examination board specifications.

Earth Summit is a 2-day event that will provide students with a chance to take part in a wide-ranging examination of the factors causing climate change, the effects it is having on biodiversity, promoting sustainably at home, at school and in the community.

The workshops will be valuable experiences students can take with them to champion sustainability in their careers. Planet-first changes can be implemented in all types of work, whether it's improving the sustainability of supply chains, nurturing sustainable practices in developing countries, or making climate-resilient social changes.

About this event

Climate change seminar and workshops

Earth Summit is designed to educate students aged between 14-18 about the causes and impacts of climate change on our planet, such as global warming and pollution, with a hands-on approach. 

The climate change seminar and workshops will be held at Keele University, a leader in climate change research. This location will help inspire students to think critically about the challenges facing climate change and use scientific and geographic solutions to create sustainable development goals.

After a full day of workshops and a night of rest, students can enjoy a fun day at Alton Towers theme park - what better way to unwind?

The event will open with a series of engaging presentations from experts in the climate change industry. Each case study and presentation will give your students unique insights into what inspired them to become pioneers and campaigners in the area, they will no doubt pass on their passion for this important cause.

Speakers for 2025 are to be confirmed. Here is a flavour of what to expect based on speakers who delivered at Earth Summit 2024:

Keele University

Our event will take place at Keele University, which is leading the sector in sustainability, not just in its ambitions to become carbon neutral by 2030 but also through its teaching and groundbreaking research into climate change and renewable technologies.

They are proud to be one of the first UK universities to declare a 'climate emergency', as well as having ambitious carbon neutral. With Keele having all the elements of a small town, their campus acts as a ‘living laboratory’ for groundbreaking projects.

The university was placed among the Top 40 universities in the world for sustainability, in addition to being named Global Sustainability Institution of the Year in 2020. 

Keele was voted Britain’s best university, as ranked by students in the Student Crowd University Awards 2022.

Your students will love the experience of university life while staying on campus in university halls. The beautiful campus has the unique feel of a small town and all of its facilities are within easy reach.

We don’t just support educational needs; we understand the need for fun! That’s why on day 2 of your educational visit, you will visit Alton Towers for some well-earned excitement and thrill-seeking with their friends!
