The Carbon Challenge integrates with educational goals across the curriculum and school community
Developing skills
The Carbon Challenge offers many opportunities for developing Key or Core Skills (England and Wales), or for fulfilling the Curriculum for Excellence (Scotland) or General requirements (Northern Ireland). It is particularly useful for:
- communication
- application of number and numeracy
- working with others
- problem solving.
Supporting education strategies
The Carbon Challenge is directly relevant to:
- Sustainable Schools National Framework – four of the eight doorways: Energy & water, Travel & traffic, Purchasing & waste, Buildings & grounds
- Building Schools for the Future – encouraging students, as key school stakeholders, to get involved with the development of your school
- Learning for our Future (Scotland) – supporting a whole-school approach and promoting joined-up thinking and participative working
- Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship (Wales) – developing the key concepts of Interdependence, Citizenship & stewardship, Sustainable change, Uncertainty & precaution.
