- How to engage with your local school
- What an assembly looks like and how to run one effectively
- Our in-house plogging expert will discuss how best to run your Plogging Club
We are there to answer all your questions!
Engage Your School
Once you're equipped with all the necessary knowledge, it's time to onboard your school.
If you're already engaged in a school, then this step is about rallying your peers and colleagues around this initiatives.
If you're not directly linked to a school but are passionate about getting Earth Cubs and Plogging Clubs into a school, this is the part where you'll need to find a local school in your community and get them involved!
During this process you'll describe what Earth Cubs is and how you’re going to run the assembly and Plogging Club.
We have lots of material that will help you do this which will be shared with you in our introductory call.
Run the assembly
Find a date that works with the school to run your assembly.
Get the kids excited about the environment and specifically the impact project (Plogging Club) you’re going to be running.
Weekly session
Arrange with the school for a weekly time slot to run the Plogging Club. This could be before school, during lunchtime or after school.
Monitor and Report
Let us know how you’re getting on!
We’d love to hear from you and support your incredible efforts. Any photos or testimonials from kids and teachers that you can get and share with us (with permission) would be greatly appreciated, as it will help us to spread the word.
We will use your feedback to create an impact report that can be shared with the school, stakeholders and parents.
