Interactive learning
This course teaches Carbon Literacy via the medium of games. This means it is interactive, engaging and most importantly fun- the opposite of death by PowerPoint. Our method of learning provides a unique and fuller learning experience leaving you and your cohort feeling empowered in your ability to make changes.
‘The interactivity of the course meant I was able to take in more information this way. Menti was a great way to engage with the presentation – I’ll be using it in the future.’
Scientific credibility
We take our course content seriously and base it on the scientific data from the book ‘How Bad Are Bananas?’ by Mike Berners-Lee, the most up-to-date compendium of carbon footprint research in the UK.
‘I really thought the game we played was a really effective tool for getting carbon conversations about carbon literacy going. Surprised to learn that there are massive differences in carbon footprint of food/items’
Learning that lasts
How many courses have you been on where the information leaves your head as soon as the course finishes? Presenting the facts is not enough. We use the ‘Carbon Footprint Game’ and facilitation techniques to engage your mind and emotions ensuring a deep understanding of the material.

‘Bringing everyone together and getting excited (and nervous) about climate change, [the course] was an absolute lever across all the different people and roles in the room’
