Somerset Sustainable Futures Website Launches to Promote Green Education and Careers
The Somerset Sustainable Futures initiative is a collaborative effort between Somerset Council, Dorset and Somerset Training Provider Network (DSTPN), Somerset Education Business Partnership, Somerset Careers Hub, and local businesses. This groundbreaking initiative aims to support schools and teachers in promoting a green curriculum and highlighting green careers by developing relevant and meaningful learning experiences and resources co-created with Somerset businesses, stakeholders, and the young people of Somerset.
The launch event, held in November last year, brought together a diverse collection of Somerset employers, charities, and organisations. The event featured an immersive and interactive green careers exhibition and an impressive youth voice session with both primary and secondary school students. These activities were designed to inspire students about careers and demonstrate how they can contribute to a more sustainable future.
Following the successful launch event, the Somerset Sustainable Futures website is now live. This new platform is dedicated to promoting sustainability across Somerset and beyond, offering a wealth of resources and information for everyone. The website features contributions from businesses, showcasing inspiring stories and initiatives from both small and large enterprises committed to sustainability. It also offers curriculum education resources for teachers and educators, providing materials to integrate sustainability into the classroom and engage students in environmental issues. Additionally, the site includes information on green careers, offering valuable insights and guidance for students considering their future in the growing field of sustainability.
Special congratulations go to the logo competition winner from Bishop Fox's School, whose unique logo design is featured on the website. More than 50 young people entered the competition, each showcasing a deep understanding of the importance of a sustainable future for Somerset. A selection of highly recommended entries also features on the website.
