Learning from Land & Sea Teacher Training 19 Oct, Barrow

Join a series of engaging continuing professional development (CPD) workshops designed to help teachers build confidence in environmental and climate education. 

The session on Monday 19th October will take place at the Round House, Barrow and on the nearby shores of Morecambe Bay.

These sessions are open to both primary and secondary school teachers. They will support you to help young people connect with nature, explore local habitats and wildlife, and discuss climate change and positive action.

Each full-day workshop, led by a local environmental expert, focuses on Morecambe Bay’s coastal ecosystem, and includes practical activities, discussion, and outdoor learning.

You can attend any single session—choose the one that best suits your school’s location and availability. Places are limited to 10 per workshop, with funded places available per workshop to help cover teacher release time.

The sessions are managed by the charity Morecambe Bay Partnership, generously funded by the Penny Conservation Charity and delivered by an expert trainer.
