Environmental education programme

A flock of avocets wading in shallow water

A term-long environmental education programme built around a local wetland, taught to teenagers who mostly arrived unconvinced. The materials — worksheets, field guides, a walking route — were designed to be used outside, in wind, with cold hands.

Designing for mud

Everything that worked came from testing on site. Pages got shorter, type got bigger, and the best lesson turned out to be the simplest: stand still for ten minutes and write down everything you hear. The programme now runs without me, which I count as the point.
