Eco Conference

In May six enthusiastic Year 7 students from Co-op Academy Leeds had the exciting opportunity to attend the annual Co-op Academies Eco Conference, held at Angel Square. Throughout the day, students also took part in engaging workshops led by sustainability experts. Highlights included interactive sessions by fairandfunky, which empowered students to see themselves as changemakers in the global effort against climate change. Hands-on activities, such as designing bird feeders and insect hotels, allowed them to channel their creativity into practical projects that will soon enhance our academy’s eco garden.

As part of the trip, students also had the opportunity to present at a conference about how their academy is working towards greater sustainability. The conference not only broadened their understanding of environmental issues but also provided valuable insight into the projects and initiatives undertaken by other academies in the Trust. The experience has further ignited their enthusiasm, and we are excited to see how their inspiration will shape the future growth of our Eco Club at Co-op Academy Leeds.
