Developing Climate Champions Through Play
United Kingdom
Aim
To educate children and young people across the UK about our worlds deteriorating climate and what they can do to be a part of the solution.
The Problem
Coaches Across Continents believe that the biggest threat facing our planet is Climate Change. 11% of the world’s population is currently vulnerable to climate change impacts such as droughts, floods, heat waves, extreme weather events and sea-level rise.
Our Solution
Having empowered young Climate Champions globally with our Purposeful Play curriculum we now want to use this experience to deliver something new, fun and educational to communities across the UK.
Who We Are
Coaches Across Continents is a dedicated team of experts in the world of sport as a tool for education. With staff members based in the UK, US, Nicaragua, Brazil and Kenya we are trusted by community-based organizations in 132 countries to assist them in reaching their social impact goals.
What Will We Do With Your Support
The money we raise will educate underserved youth about climate challenges including reducing single use plastic, renewable energy and active citizenship. With AVIVA's help we will:
1. Select existing UK partners from diverse communities across the nation.
2. Provide the partners with Climate curriculum, virtual training and financial resources.
3. The local partners will run interactive and educational local programming with at-risk youth teaching them about climate change.
Together we can develop a new generation of Climate Champions.
