Brighter Futures
At Pearson, we are committed to supporting schools in their mission to become more sustainable and in helping to shape a future generation of sustainably minded, global citizens.
Over the past few years, we have seen in both our project qualifications and initiatives, that there is a real thirst for driving proactive change in this space. We are excited to build on this passion and are working with key partners in the sector to support schools, students and parents to make education enriching for all learners.
We brought together students from year 10 to university post-graduates for our inaugural Sustainable Student Forum. The day began with a Wave Makers workshop, ran by our event partners Ocean Generation, followed by a Pearson led roundtable discussion. We covered topics like COP28, what makes a sustainably minded citizen and green dreams for the future.
Explore sustainability and climate change through an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)
Our EPQ allows learners to independently focus a research project on sustainability or climate change. Through meaningful research learners will gain a deeper and broader understanding of key environmental issues, while exploring creative climate solutions.
Successful EPQ learners will receive a free one-year subscription to content at IEMA.
