Join us for a week of online learning and fun as we celebrate all things energy! The week will take place from Monday 24th March – Friday the 28th and we are encouraging all primary and secondary schools currently working on any of our themes to take part – even if your school has already been awarded the Green Flag for Energy, participation will count as a maintenance action for this theme.
This event has now passed.
Head on over to our Green-Schools Energy playlist on youtube to watch the webinars back.
