Help your students harness their skills

Green Talent is an initiative targeted at young people, which aims to increase their knowledge about our dependence on nature and also show how businesses are going to be adapting as we move towards a low-carbon economy.

The Eden Project, RSPB and Kew created this online community and piloted a range of environmental experiences in some of the most innovative learning centres in the country.

What can you do?

Whether you're a teacher, lecturer, head of department or professor, join the forum, get involved and earn points in the same way as your students. This is a great opportunity for institutes and people with 'real-life experience' to help younger generations gain a bright future by sharing skills and expertise.

You can also pose questions and raise topics with younger audiences who often have new ways to tackle old problems. A great way to harness their skills, tap into youth insight and test out new approaches in a completely open way. It will also promote the work of your company to new audiences.

Include the Green Talent programme in your teaching

As well as career advice, the Green Talent scheme supportsgeography, ICT, PSHE, citizenship and STEM. It contributes towards the markers of the Every Child Matters agenda. The programme has been designed to support Secondary Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) and Personal Learning and Thinking Skills (PLTS). Green Talent also complements study at a Tertiary level, including apprenticeships.

What teachers say about Green Talent
