Description

Pupils from Canal View and Tollcross Primary Schools and Tynecastle High School, will join us on our All Aboard canal boat to participate in fun, interactive sessions exploring climate change. Working with young people from our local Positive Transitions groups, the sessions will focus on engaging children and young people with nature and the local environment and exploring the impact of climate change. Using fun and engaging activities, we will introduce them to some small everyday actions that they can take at home and in their community to help tackle climate change.

Location: All Aboard, Polwarth Pontoon on the Union Canal, at 36-38 Polwarth Terrace
