Giving Young People a Voice on Climate Action in Grangemouth and Falkirk

# data[].attributes.body
At the start of 2026, the FEL Climate Action Hub and Active Travel Hub brought Learning for Sustainability (LfS) to life at Grangemouth High School and Falkirk High School through a climate change consultation, linked to the Scottish Government’s Climate Change Plan.

Through informal pop-ups and classroom sessions, pupils explored real-world issues such as transport, waste, energy, and a just transition, using discussion, zine-making, and live illustration to share their views. The climate change plan artwork will be displayed in both schools, demonstrating how pupil voice and meaningful participation are central to shaping positive climate action in Falkirk and across Scotland.

Connect Outdoors is an educational hiking programme. We all know the benefits that the outdoors can have on our mental and physical health, but many people find it difficult to get outdoors for a variety of reasons. We want to change this. We want to help people connect with the outdoors, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual identity, physical ability or personal circumstances. We want to show people who are new to the outdoors how they can interact with wild places, responsibly.

Go Flourish is a small charity with a big vision - to put nature at the heart of education. We cultivate exceptional school gardens for outdoor learning in order to reconnect children with nature, nurture their mental well-being, and equip them with skills to support their future.

By immersing children in the beauty of nature through hands-on gardening and outdoor learning, we help them develop lifelong skills, resilience, and a deep appreciation for the environment — lessons that will benefit them, their communities and our planet for years to come.

We're working with St Andrews University School of Psychology and Neuroscience to develop the evidence-based case needed to, when the time's right, lobby the government .

We don't just plant seeds — we plant opportunities for children to grow, explore, and thrive in environments that nurture their full potential. We aim to show how nature-based education can enrich every aspect of the curriculum, bringing subjects to life with real-world context.

Without a meaningful connection to nature we don’t value it. Which is why we create beautiful, productive and diverse outdoor learning spaces to inspire children and teachers to get outside to learn and play. Go Flourish gardens come with dedicated teachers to help facilitate the shift towards normalising learning outdoors, aligned with government policy ‘Target 2030’: Scotland’s Learning for Sustainability Action Plan 2023-2030.

Flourish is a charity that aims to drive a change in educational policy to make gardens part of school life. Through this approach we reconnect children with nature and improve their mental health, educational achievements, and their employment opportunities in the future.

During Fairtrade Fortnight 2021, young people used creativity to power-up the campaign for climate justice. The Fairtrade Youth Exhibition was held to showcase young people’s visions of a better world for farmers and workers around the world, and the planet we all share. The Exhibition received over 800 entries from young creatives and you can view them all here: Youth Online Exhibition Hall - Fairtrade Foundation

The image shows a cairn put together by pupils at Stromness Academy in Orkney. Pupils spent time looking at exhibits in the gallery and then responded by creating stones and building them into a memorial Cairn. A way marker on our journey out of lockdown and into the future world we want to build together.
