Student Engagement at Wellington College Symposium

In the 9th Beyond COP21 Symposium at Wellington College, over 600 students from 4 schools took part, as well as 20 organisations running workshops and exhibiting throughout the day. The College was honoured to have Her Excellency Guisell Morales, the Nicaraguan Ambassador to the UK, attend as a guest speaker, sharing the initiatives and insights into how Nicaragua is tackling climate change through investment in renewable energy and community projects.We were delighted that our own Director, Tara Golshan was also invited to give a talk on our work for the planet. As she comments, “COP 21 is a great platform to raise awareness and understanding of climate change and other environmental issues, by providing students with the opportunity to find solutions to the current challenges faced and a shared sense of purpose.”
