A huge and interactive online lesson, broadcast live from the climate summit, for secondary schools, sixth forms and colleges across the UK.

About this event

This November, as world leaders gather in Glasgow for the COP26 climate conference, students, teachers and school administrators are invited to join us online for the Great Big Lesson for Climate and Nature: Live from COP26. 

The Great Big Lesson for Climate & Nature is brought to you by AimHi Earth, Nature4Climate, World’s Largest Lesson & YOUTHTOPIA with support from Cambridge Zero and the Eden Project. 

Our lesson turns COP26 into a classroom for everyone – turning learning into action by equipping audiences not only with knowledge but the ability to communicate about and act upon the climate and nature crisis.

It is the easiest and most inspiring way for school communities to understand and feel part of this crucial global gathering. 

We guarantee that everyone will learn something new and do something different as a result.

And if you don’t know us: AimHi Earth is the education-to-actionhub on a mission to transform global understanding of climate and nature.

Who is it for?

This interactive lesson is free and available for all students aged 11+, their teachers and their wider school community. 

This is an opportunity for schools and their students to learn together and get involved in the global conversation at COP26.
