Green Schools Revolution is an inspiring UK sustainability education programme from The Co-operative. This free programme provides an easy and rewarding way to implement three key sustainability themes into the classroom: energy, water and healthy living.
 Written by educational specialists, it is a free, creative, cross-curricular resource and is available to all UK Primary and Secondary schools. It brings together teachers, parents, pupils and local communities, with projects that encourage creative thinking about the environment. As part of the Green Schools Revolution programme, The Co-operative is on hand to lend extra support to the schools that are involved, offering a programme of school visits to Co-operative Farms, wind farms and science and discovery centres, as well as other exciting opportunities. Every school joining Green Schools Revolution will receive a great starter pack and have access to free online cross-curricular resources.
Energy, water and healthy living will be the highlight of the timetable for 7,000 school kids this week as they join the UK’s biggest ever school trip to get a real taste of learning about sustainability outside the classroom. At The Co-operative’s ‘Green Schools Revolution: LIVE!’ events up and down the country, all 7,000 pupils will get to visit one of eleven UK Science and Discovery Centres, including the Eden Project (Cornwall), the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew (London), Thinktank (Birmingham), Museum of Science and Industry (Manchester), W5 (Belfast), Satrosphere (Aberdeen) and Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) (Wales) for a special Green Schools Revolution lesson. During the week, each venue will bring unique experiences into the Green Schools Revolution programme, from pupils ascending 305 steps to the top of the world’s only climbable wind turbine at Ecotech in Norfolk, to exploring the importance of plants and the vital role they play in sustainable and healthy living at Kew Gardens.
