Woodcraft Folk is pleased to lauch Woodcraft Folk Everywhere: Climate Action Now - our new toolkit for groups and individuals to explore how we can learn about and respond to the Climate Emergency through practical activities.

This resource has been made possible through the support of YouthLink Scotland, through the National Voluntary Youth Organisations Support Fund.

The resource is divided into four themes:

Biodiversity
understanding species, habitats and ecosystems, and how they are vulnerable to the effects of a changing climate

Innovation
working together creatively to find out more and explore solutions

Justice
discovering how global inequalities apply to the climate emergency

Survival
exploring how humans need to adapt and change how we live to meet new challenges

Follow the links above to find detailed session plans for a range of activities suitable for all ages and levels of ability. You can find a summary of the programme pack, a guide to the activities and links to further resources by downloading the Information Booklet below
