This event marks the launch of a professional learning series for all teachers and school leaders who are interested in climate change education.

Matthew Pye (Founder of Climate Academy) is travelling to Perth and will be delivering the presentation in person. As a public speaker, Matthew has given lectures at the EU Commission, Cambridge University, VU Amsterdam, other leading universities and many international schools. He featured in The Eurasian Media Forum (Kazakhstan, 2021), The NATO Youth Conference (2023), and the ZEG Storytelling Festival (Tblisi, 2023).

The aim is to provide an overview of the work of the Climate Academy and to give attending schools the opportunity to sign up for a professional learning series in semester 2 2024.
