The government says...

Your climate education needs to :

  • Have in-school climate leaders
  • Be cross-curricular
  • Be skills and employment focused
  • Help your students connect with nature
  • Work with higher education

You say...

“Knowledge gap”
It’s hard to keep up with climate science.

“Trusted resources”
You struggle to find clear, unbiased information and resources.

“Context”
Your students need big-picture, real world examples, not just abstract concepts.

“Input”
You hate regurgitating – that’s not why you became a teacher! You want to make the content work for you.

“Time”
You want to feel more confident leading the climate discussion, but there’s never enough time!

We say : Speak Climate !

We translate complex climate science into understandable, engaging and memorable climate training, including the most powerful publicly available real-time climate action simulator, EN-ROADS.

Our modules inspire fascination for and ability in the STEM skills needed for the Green Economy.

Our approach is working in teams, working with systems. That’s how the real world works, and it’s what educators have been calling for.

We’re on a voyage of discovery together, and that’s how we approach our training. We’ll empower your students and staff to confidently engage with the climate crisis, through applying their knowledge to real-world problems.

Our content is anti-silo, engaging all areas of interest and learning.

Based on trusted expertise

Our training is based on the best science, broad expert research and the latest technical and policy developments – yet simply explained.

Interactive & engaging

Through teamworking and questioning, your students will learn skills directly applicable in the workplace – whilst getting their brains buzzing with possibilities.

Skills-focused

We aim to show how a wide range of talents & skills can contribute to fighting climate change, allowing informed choices on future pathways.

Flexible

For students, our training is:

Engaging and interactive
Manageable modules with multiple entertaining activities and demonstrations throughout. Keeping students’ interest and challenging them to learn more. For kids of all ages!

Visual
We don’t do chalk and talk. We use images to aid knowledge retention – seemingly unconnected familiar images that have an unexpected link to the topic.  No reading from the PowerPoint here! Each image starts a discussion.

Team-based
Better answers come from team thinking. It’s how the world works, and so do we. Team challenges, systems thinking, comparing solutions. Learning to communicate and developing real-world skills.

Inclusive
Climate change affects all of us. We’re going to need everyone’s talents. We want everyone to be part of the solution.

Our Mission

Driven by Climate Knowledge

Hi, I’m Dan Shillabeer, MSc. (Disaster Management & Resilience),BSc. (Place-Based Decarbonisation).

After two decades in emergency services and disaster relief leadership, it’s clear that the world’s biggest disaster is climate change.

A further decade in education and training also made clear that knowledge unlocks solutions, so I founded Speak Climate, delivering climate insights to the Education and SMB sectors.

 

Expertise and Passion

Our team combines advanced climate science understanding with 10+ years’ UK classroom education experience across schools, colleges and corporate training. 

We’re constantly researching to deliver accurate, trustworthy climate education, through engaging and cross-curricular workshops.
