Education, coaching and climate ‘Pod’ – What’s ours to do?
A vital part of responding to the climate emergency is ensuring that education institutions respond to the challenge and enable children and young people to develop the skills , knowledge and attitudes that they need to play their part in working towards a sustainable future. We think that coaching can play an important role in facilitating this process.
In this monthly meeting we will explore the Linda Aspey model and consider how it can support our coaching work in schools, colleges. etc. All those working in or interested in the education sector are warmly invited to join the meeting. There will be opportunities to share experiences and consider practical ways to incorporate the tool into our coaching work.
Our meetings alternate between 7pm and 9am BST on the third Monday of the month and offer a supportive space where we can explore individual and collective ways that we can support education in rising to the climate change challenge.
