About the project
The project has been developed in collaboration with the young people of North Norfolk, who have identified the need for:
- more hands-on learning opportunities
- free or cheap clubs and activities
- better maintained parks and outdoor spaces
The Young Commissioners on the North Norfolk Youth Advisory Board are also passionate about the environment and climate change.
About the sessions
The sessions will provide hands-on learning opportunities, focusing on the environment and climate change. The project also kicks off with a handful of classroom-based sessions aimed at tackling eco-anxiety and giving people the tools and knowledge to be more aware of climate change issues.
We aim to help young people:
- get outside
- learn about nature
- be active
- get creative
