The ecoACTIVE Folkestone Primary Schools Project delivered targeted, hands-on environmental education workshops designed to elevate climate literacy and practical ecological awareness. The initiative successfully reached hundreds of pupils across three local schools, generating a measurable uplift in environmental confidence. By explicitly connecting individual workshops to a broader, three-school collective project, pupils were empowered to see their local actions as part of a larger environmental movement.

ecoACTIVE partnered with Futures For All to deliver a two-day virtual work experience, giving young people from across the country a behind-the-scenes look at careers in the green industry. Through interactive sessions, collaborative activities and an accredited ISEP qualification, 79% of participants left feeling confident they could achieve their career ambitions.

The ecoACTIVE Garden Project at Harris Science Academy has transformed an unused school terrace into a thriving, sustainable green space created entirely by pupils. With the support of Bupa Foindation, the project offered young people a hands-on, empowering experience in ecological design, sustainable construction, gardening, and teamwork.

We delivered 26 sessions during the grant period (June 2024 to June 2025), working with 43 adults and

11 young people. In total, over the entire project (January 2024 to June 2025), we delivered 60

sessions/events on Clapton Park Estate and engaged a total of 169 participants.
