Shout about

Shout about is Friends of the Earth's annual activity project for 11-13 yr olds.

It's a great way to get young people involved in issues relevant and important to them.

Shout about 2009 is about finding solutions to climate change with your local community.

These are the decision makers of tomorrow, so it's very important that we inform them about solutions to climate

Head of Geography, Enniskillen Collegiate

Fantastic activities will show how your students, you and the local community can work together to make a change.

The activity week will run from 2-6 March 2009, but you can use the resources whenever you like.

Last year over 1,600 schools and youth groups signed up. We moved the week from autumn to spring to make it easier for even more people to get involved.

What we provide:

• curriculum linked information & activity pack
• lots of fantastic lesson ideas
• new interactive whiteboard resource
• the opportunity for you to feedback your views on the project.

What you need to do:

• sign up to receive your free pack
• hold a one off lesson or a whole week of activities - it's up to you!

We'd like to hear what you are planning - just drop us a line.

If you are not able to take part, why not download our Shout about flyer and display it on your staff notice board?

Read our Shout about climate solutions review magazine (PDF format) - packed full of fantastic stories from the activity week in 2007. Check out a play about penguins to show the connection with classroom and polar temperatures, and students making hydro-electric turbines.
