Hi all, feeling successful at spreading the I CAN work! I have been invited to share climate change learning with the teaching training college. I plan on demonstrating how to deliver COP. I have also enlisted a Sixth Former to chair an inter-school COP within our schools trust. She has attended the training session for this and is really keen to make it happen. Meanwhile we are teaching 240 Year 8s about COP27 and they will all take part in a COP over the next two weeks.

Model UN COP26 Conferences

Hi everyone,

Steph here from Chesterfield High School in Crosby, Liverpool.

Two weeks ago a group of our Year 9 pupils participated in an online model COP26 conference using everything we have learnt through the ICAN project. Pablo from Liverpool World Centre chaired the conference and it involved 10 schools from our local authority. Here is an article that my students wrote about their experience, which is soon to be on our website. It was an incredibly valuable experience for them.
