Following the success of Green Day 2009, CABE are pleased to announce that registration is now available on the CABE website for schools interested in taking part in June 2010. Green Day is an event exploring climate change, buildings and spaces for primary and secondary schools, linking to the Sustainable Schools agenda.

Registering doesn’t commit you to taking part in Green Day; it just means that you will be amongst the first to know about developments leading up to Green Day 2010, including helpful advice on how to organise and run the day successfully.

Free teacher’s kit!

Green Day’s free downloadable teacher’s kit available on the website offers over 80 curriculum linked activity ideas to engage students in issues surrounding sustainability and climate change. In it you will find a mixture of subject specific lessons, links to relevant organisations and whole school activities, helping to emphasise the cross-curricular nature of environmental challenges.

Although you can download the kit as it stands, it will also be updated and expanded over the next few months in preparation for Green Day 2010. Green Day 2010 will launch on 4 June 2010, the day before World Environment Day. Schools can choose to either hold their day on this launch date, or at any convenient time during the month following.

Taking part in Green Day is a great way to inspire your school to start working more sustainably. To get more of an idea of the event, follow the links on our website to Green Day competition winners from 2009 who wrote about how Green Day looked in their schools.
