Creating educational programs based on real-world science and its application in sustainable solutions

Climate and sustainability education transforms how young people understand and shape their world. We provide and promote high-quality climate, nature and sustainability education to empower individuals and communities with the knowledge and tools needed to transition towards a sustainable future.

Aim

We aim to make learning relevant and engaging in schools and colleges through approaches that embrace project-based learning, citizen science, and nature-based solutions. By integrating climate science into sessions, we inspire and equip young people to become agents of change, taking meaningful action for both people and planet.

 Services for Schools and Colleges

We understand every school is unique, so our services are flexible and tailored to your needs.

 We offer:

  • Customised educational resources that align with your curriculum

 Links to Industry

TerraLigo has an extensive network across industry and academia, enabling access to guest speakers and experts throughout the sustainability landscape. In addition, both Meryl and Richard are registered Climate Ambassadors with Newcastle University and STEM Learning, which helps us stay up to date with the latest academic and policy developments in climate, nature, and sustainability education.

 All workshop facilitators for TerraLigo are enthusiastic STEM professionals and hold an Enhanced DBS Certificate.

 Example Programme: SustainabiliTEA

A 10-hour KS3 STEM project reaching up to 125 pupils aged 11-14 across five schools in the 2025-26 academic year. Students investigate the use of biochar to explore soil science, climate change, and carbon sequestration—topics not covered in detail in the national curriculum.

 The name SustainabiliTEA comes from the sustainability challenges faced by large tea and coffee producers in Kenya and India. In this project-based learning initiative, students plan and conduct investigations to study the effect of adding biochar to soils on nutrient availability, plant growth, and water retention. Students work in teams to produce reports that are submitted for a Bronze CREST award from the British Science Association.

 Through the project, young investigators develop their knowledge of the opportunities and challenges of using nature-based solutions to address global challenges. Students also gain valuable skills in working scientifically, problem-solving, teamwork, and communication, alongside an appreciation of the green careers they might pursue in the future.

 We are exceptionally grateful to the Reece Foundation for funding this programme for the 2025-26 academic year.
