The Writing’s on the Wall
Inspired by ‘The Right to Know’ (1968) by Norman Rockwell, this mural was painted on a public wall, in a school, for a reason:
Our students have made an impact all around Europe. Check out their projects in this reel:
Next-Level Climate Thinking and Action
Systemic Understanding
The climate crisis is a systemic one and it must be understood within that framework.
This is true for the hard science of what is going on, and all the human systems (social, economic and political) that are in play.

Civic Service
After establishing a secure understanding, the Climate Academy mobilises students into the civic space at a local, national or global level. In teams, and in collaboration with scientists or leading public figures, the students design and implement projects with muscularity and scalability.
Systems Entrepreneurship
For open and reflective students, the engagement in the civic space will bring to the surface all the flows and blocks to regenerative change. Puzzling out how best to handle complexity and ambiguity, non-linear development,
Why Next Level Climate Action and Thinking?
Can we really call our children educated if they do not understand the depth and range of the climate crisis?
The Climate Academy offers a free package of materials and guidance that can be plugged into any school. It can achieve a major impact across the whole school community by empowering a small number of change makers with the latest science and holistic vision.
Designed by teachers, the core materials and pedagogical approach, have been put together with a mature understanding of both the difficulties of school life and their enormous transformative potential.

Vaida Plankytė
Class of 2015
After a degree in Artificial Intelligence & Computer Science, and a Masters in Design Informatics (at The University of Edinburgh), I have been involved as a participant in the Edinburgh Future Institute’s Utopia Lab pilot, which explores the definitions and roles of utopia.
My interest lies in decentralised, healthy technologies that enable communities by encouraging creativity, play and experimentation. In my work, I wish to empower people to explore the ways we relate to the technologies we use. I am also interested in exploring visions of a sustainable future, and the steps we can take to get there.
Nicholas Peroulakis
Class of 2015
Since leaving school, I’ve studied BEng Energy Engineering with Environmental Management at the University of East Anglia (UEA). Despite my background in engineering, I firmly believe that the principle solution to Climate Change is a drastic change in our lifestyles in terms of reducing our resource demand which must be driven by government policy as well as a fundamental shift in public attitude concerning their environmental impact.
Catarina Morais
Class of 2015
After the Climate Academy & I studied International Business Managements. I am now working for the GSA foundation as an Insights Analyst in the Mobile for Development Utilities team. I strongly believe that, along with a shift in thinking and social behaviours, technology is a key catalyser of sustainability, and this is why I invest my time working with innovative practices.
