Compost Collective have wrapped up their workshops at Lyndhurst Primary School! 4 weeks. 4 roles. Countless climate solutions. After getting up close with worms to see composting in action, the children explored the need for soil health in the face of a changing climate.

CCAC has kicked off the new school year with the talented @compostcollective.bsky.social who are currently running their 6 weeks of workshops at Lyndhurst Primary School. They are our successful applicants for the 2025 Young Designer’s Award.

 Thrilled to share 'The Water Tower Masterplan'! A co-design project with Heathfield Academy's Year 5 pupils, creating a climate-adapted Park Hill with flood-resilient gardens & community spaces. Unveiled to the community! @StudioEgretWest

We are proud of the recent co-design project between children at Laycock Primary School, Islington, and designer Clara Chu. Year 5 children designed a backpack that would be suitable for their journey to school in a future climate extreme🌍🤩🌱

This project was kindly supported by the Linbury Trust.

CCAC is delighted with the outcome of the Food Waste to Fashion! co-design project between Coppermill Primary School in Walthamstow and the brilliant Cassie Quinn, of cqstudio.uk.

This co-design project was kindly sponsored by The Linbury Trust.

A first look at the co-design project between architects at Studio Egret West and year 5 children at Heathfield Academy!

The children have received workshops exploring natural resources, climate pressures and have learned how spaces can be designed to respect and respond to the world around us🌍🌱

We are delighted to share the results of the inspiring co-design collaboration between year 5 children at St John’s and St Clement’s Primary School and Hassell Studio.

The project challenged the children to re-imagine Peckham Rye Park’s car park and adapt it for future climate extremes🌱

Architect Angela Curci, of @zhaofficial.bsky.social, has been co-designing with 9- and 10-year-olds at William Tyndale Primary School in Islington. Together, they have produced designs for flood resilient schools of the future.

See their creative concept drawings and digital renders below!🌊☔

Climate-ready Peckham!

Year 5 children at St John’s and St Clement’s Primary School were asked to re-imagine the car parking area in their local park. Here are their brilliantly creative designs….

We are eager to see the renders of their concepts when architects at Hassell reveal them next month!

Climate Ready Peckham!🌱

Children at St John's & St Clement's CofE Primary School are re-imagining Peckham Rye Park for their 'Transforming Urban Spaces for Extreme Weather' project.

This co-design with Michael Pecirno of Hassell Studio is focused on making the area resilient to climate change.

An update from ‘The Farm of the Future’…

Children from The Bemrose Primary School in Derby have been busy presenting their design ideas based on a nearby farm. Architect Polly North inspired them to imagine how it might be transformed to be climate resilient in 2050.

Did you know that the fashion industry produces more carbon emissions than the aviation and shipping industries combined?

Thanks to fashion and textiles innovator Aurélie Fontan, school children have been learning all about the environmental impact of fashion and innovative ways to reduce it!

Our teaching resources are available to download for free from the TES website.

They have been carefully created to help teachers introduce the concepts of climate science and principles of design to 9–10-year-olds.
