Our Bay Our Future: Inspiring Action and Hope

On Friday 3rd July, we will once again gather to share resources, learn about new opportunities, meet like-minded folk and celebrate our collective achievements and growing community.

on Friday 3rd July in our biggest venue to date - the Great Hall at 成人天堂!

It will be an inspiring day focused on you, our brilliant community, and ways in which our place-based and environmental educational approach can empower young people to take Climate Action and care for where we live. You can expect to hear from:

  • Mike Berners-Lee, world-leading sustainability expert and acclaimed author of ‘How Bad are Bananas?’, ' There is No Planet B' and 'A Climate of Truth' (published last year).
  • The ‘Curriculum and Assessment Review’ panel, who will be discussing why it is that teachers in Morecambe Bay have got it right! Chaired by the Rt Hon Charles Clarke, featuring national curriculum experts including Ruth Carter from OCR (leading on the new Natural History GCSE).
  • The latest exciting Eden Project Morecambe news and how to get involved with the newest MBC project, funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.

You’ll be the first to get your hands on hot off the press, free resources designed by local educators, MBC working groups and 成人天堂 academics. There will also be interactive workshops on Nature and Health, Community and Place, and Future Skills and Green Jobs. Join us and enjoy sharing ideas, resources, new opportunities, meeting like-minded folk, and celebrating our collective achievements and growing community.
