On these pages you will find information on how Play it Cool is helping schools and their communities learn about the impacts of climate change.

The case studies reveal how pupils themselves are helping their peers and colleagues learn ways to respond to the challenges posed by climate change.

Play It Cool trains teams of pupil educators because:

Pupils learn more information and learn it better when they have to teach it
Pupils are often more interested in hearing what other pupils have to say
Secondary students teaching primary pupils often benefit from the "cool" factor
They usually build in a lot of fun and primary children enjoy the lessons
Pupil educators gain in confidence and ability in making presentations
Students also like practicing their IT skills and this is helpful, provided they don't take attention away from content!
