A community-curated, place-based approach to learning about sustainability - encouraging and empowering children and young people to become the change-makers and innovators our planet needs.
About Morecambe Bay Curriculum
Together, we are exploring how we can weave sustainability and our place into everyday lives around Morecambe Bay.
Launched in 2019 by founding partners Lancaster and Morecambe College and Lancaster University, the Morecambe Bay Curriculum project was inspired by the Eden Project Morecambe. The curriculum aims to ensure that the different stages of the education system, from early years to postgraduate, provide the green skills, knowledge, and behaviours required by businesses and our communities to respond to climate emergencies. The Morecambe Bay Curriculum is supported and delivered by teachers, early years practitioners, researchers, health professionals and community leaders who recognise that a collective approach is critical to tackling the climate emergency and creating opportunities for young people.
The heart of the Morecambe Bay Curriculum is the community, who together curate the content and bring it to life at a grassroots level. Children and young people explore the Bay's themes of land, water, air, economy and community using the ecosystems surrounding the Bay as a classroom. The Curriculum's community partners are focused on wellbeing, careers and community pride to encourage and empower young people to see the tangible positive change their actions make to the environment.
