Carbon Literacy Course for Educators
The 'Carbon Literacy for Educators' course has been designed for all educators from any background who wish to educate others about carbon footprinting and climate change.
We’ve combined our Carbon Footprint Game training with the Carbon Literacy Trust requirements so you can learn how to play the carbon footprint game with your players, pupils, students, learners and/or stakeholders - and get a Carbon Literacy certificate all at the same time!
The course has to be 8 hours long to qualify for the Carbon Literacy criteria-checking and you can choose to do this course either face-to-face over one day or – especially for teachers – split over 3 x 2.5 hrs twilight sessions in one week.
Face-to-face learning - £175 per person launch price (RRP £199)
Face-to-face sessions take place in Leicester City Centre. You will need to set some time aside to complete a carbon footprint calculation before you come.
First session is Friday 24th September from 9am to 5.30pm.
Spaces available: 20
Online learning - £150 per person launch price (RRP £175)

FAQs
Do I need to buy a game to come to the learning?
No – we don’t think this is essential but we think you’ll probably want to buy one when the training is finished!
Is this only for people who plan to use the Carbon Footprint Games to educate?
No – the course has been designed so you will also learn all the basics of climate science that you would expect to learn from a Climate Literacy accredited course. We do spend some time playing the game but that will also be part of the learning experience :o)
Who is this training for?
Teachers, facilitators, educators, trainers, sustainability managers.
Which sector is this focused upon?
All educational sectors, primary and secondary schools, FE, HE and charitable organisations too.
What will I get from the course?
If you complete the necessary assessment you will receive a Carbon Literacy certificate. You will also gain confidence in playing the Carbon Footprint Game so you could play this with your own stakeholders, players, pupils, students, learners later on.
What’s different to other Carbon Literacy courses?
We’ve designed our courses with educators in mind. Emma – who wrote the material – is a trained teacher and experienced facilitator of the Carbon Footprint Game and has written an engaging and participant-led learning experience.
