The event is part of a growing regional effort to accelerate climate and nature action in education settings and strengthen collaboration between schools and sustainability support providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Gathering is convened by the South West Sustainability Network, led by <a href=\"https:\/\/coriniumeducationtrust.net\/\">Corinium Education Trust<\/a>, and brings together partners including <a href=\"https:\/\/letsgozero.org\/\">Let\u2019s Go Zero<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/climateambassadors.org.uk\/\">Climate Ambassadors<\/a>, and a wide range of organisations working to support schools on their sustainability journeys. As the South West Climate Ambassador Hub Lead, UWE Bristol is partnering with the network to enable deeper exchange, shared learning, and practical action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schools across the South West are increasingly developing Climate Action Plans, yet many face similar challenges: limited capacity, fragmented support offers, and the need for clear, practical guidance. This event aims to address those challenges by creating a space where school sustainability leads can learn from one another and connect with the organisations best placed to support them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Objectives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Support schools to develop and implement their Climate Action Plan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring together the ecosystem of providers to enable a joined\u2011up approach to sustainability support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share best practice for climate and nature action in education settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enable accelerated climate and nature action in communities through connected education programmes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Event details<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thursday 2 July<\/strong> <strong>UWE Bristol Frenchay Campus<\/strong> <strong>Z Block, School of Engineering<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>12:30\u201313:30<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lunch and Networking<\/strong> Atrium, Z Block<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>13:30\u201315:00<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Welcome to the Gathering<\/strong> Presentations from sustainability providers including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>South West Sustainability Network<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Climate Ambassadors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let\u2019s Go Zero<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>National Education Nature Park<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Green Schools Project<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ministry of Eco Education<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>West of England Primary STEM Network \u2013 Inspire Green Futures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Careers Hubs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>15:00<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Break<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>15:15\u201316:00<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Accelerated Climate and Nature Action<\/strong> A discussion session led by the Bristol Climate and Nature Partnership<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>16:00\u201317:00<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Hybrid Session \u2013 School\u2011Level Audit and Action Planning<\/strong> Guidance and dedicated time for school leaders to complete a baseline audit and action plan for their setting, led by the South West Schools Sustainability Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>17:00<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Networking<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Registration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attendance is free.
