TEESNet Conversations with...

Dear TEESNet Colleagues,

Welcome to your regular TEESNet update!

We've been plotting with Jack di Francesco of SOS-UK/Teach the Future and John McLaverty (ex-Oxfam Education & Youth Advisor), and are delighted to announce that young people from Teach the Teacher (more on them below) will be in conversation with John in a session where you, our audience, will be invited to consider issues including the DfE's Sustainability & Climate Change Strategy and how this intersects with political impartiality guidance for teachers.

More about our 'IN CONVERSATION' keynote contributors

John McLaverty

John is a former secondary school middle leader and teacher educator based in London. More recently John was Youth Campaigner for Oxfam GB until retiring in July 2024. He holds an MSc in Development Studies from SOAS, University of London and is interested in how children in UK schools learn about (or don’t learn about) international development, global social justice and humanitarian emergencies. He is currently co-chair of the Send My Friend to School coalition.

Teach the Teacher

Teach the Teacher is a youth-led project that empowers young people to talk to their teachers about climate change and the simple yet impactful ways teachers can bring climate into their classrooms, no matter what subject they teach!
In addition to running youth-led climate education workshops in primary and secondary schools, they also work with universities to deliver these workshops to their PGCE students with the help of local schools (note - if you'd like to explore this foryour school or institution it's currently fully funded! Contact jack.difrancesco@sos-uk.org).
