Let’s Talk Trash
The festival might last a day, but the learning doesn’t stop there! Our Let’s Talk Trash lessons take the excitement, ideas and experiences from the festival workshops straight back into the classroom. With litter and its impact on our environment at the heart of the learning, each lesson links to a festival workshop and challenges pupils to investigate, question, problem-solve and take action. Download a lesson. Continue the conversation. Take action. Make some waves.
