Campaigns

Our curriculum-linked campaigns are the most popular feature of the Pod. They get the whole school working together and inspired to take action. They can also be led by students, which is an essential criterion for an Eco-School Award.

We have lots of resources to make taking part easy, fun, impactful and rewarding. Join in and put your school on our campaign map.

Switch Off Fortnight 2019

Our long running energy saving campaign is back 18-29th November. It can not only help teach young people about energy, but could also help your school to cut carbon, save money and achieve and Eco-School award too!

It’s fun, rewarding, measurable and easy to take part in with our curriculum linked resources.

We have a limited number of campaign packs - one per school, on a first come first served basis. Packs will be sent in the autumn term to arrive in plenty of time for Switch Off Fortnight.

(Average energy saving for schools that have run Switch Off Fortnight is 10%)
