We design and develop both ‘out of the box’ and bespoke climate change content and learning materials for communities to continue to prosper.

We connect with heritage and culture, the arts, wild spaces, schools, educators, communities and sport to inspire climate action, reduce climate anxiety and make scientific learning accessible for all. We’ve yet to find a setting we can’t adapt too.

As a non-political organisation, Elysium is an evolving project for a better future, a shared learning experience where communities prosper, together, to be fully able to make informed decisions and take action against climate change. For a little

over two years, we have carried out extensive research to ensure that our content is both engaging and accessible

but most importantly, impactful.

We endeavour to take our audience on an immersive and inclusive journey, to fully engage with the climate crisis

on a micro and macro scale. We bring the world to them. From classroom learning, climate art to sustainable

and virtual tourism, Elysium Environmental can take care of all of your engagement needs.

Our aim is to help you tell your climate story.

We merge our climate and environmental expertise with our educational background to explore making climate change accessible for everyone without contextual Armageddon.

We like to dive into the science, unpick its broader meaning and adapt this to a positive message of hope, action and ownership.

We specialise in utilising digital content to engage wide and varied audiences, reaching minority groups within society and more importantly, developing a sense of ownership of the current climatic situation. our small team of environmentalists, educators and health professionals results in broad and diverse learning and engagement opportunities.

We focus deeply on soothing anxiety around climate, address climate misconceptions and engage communities with what climate change really means for them, in their own street, before exploring the global issue. We also appreciate that attitudes towards climate are incredibly personal.

We use physical exhibits, immersive experiences, story telling and the arts to transform complex subject matter into every day contexts.

We use this approach to support organisations in developing climate engagement. We are passionate and unwavering in our approach to driving environmental change through learning.

The ‘Hot Topic’ is our flagship learning platform. Available in two editions - ‘Community’ and ‘Education’ editions, these knowledge projects are an immersive, exploratory and community-founded project that enhances the understanding of the effects of climatic change and environmental issues on a human level. Within each project and exhibition we explore the crisis through four key lenses - Air, H20, Earth and the Lab. We want our learners to get to the heart of the problem and more importantly, feel inspired to take practical action.

Available in over 60 languages, the ‘Hot Topic’ is a virtual narrative journey of six practical learning chapters, harnessing project based learning outcomes. From understanding the true meaning of ‘Net Zero’, designing and creating a hydro-electric generator or exploring a forest.

Working with Elysium changed the way our community thinks about the world!

*All of our data is triangulated with United Nations official climate change source material.

Tourism accounts for 8% of global carbon emissions. This is a significant contribution to the climate crisis.

We collaborate with Tourism Agencies, Holiday Parks, Visitor Attractions and Accommodation to develop climate awareness campaigns to help inform travellers how to best mitigate their own environmental impact and preserve the local environment.

Each one of these bespoke projects is incredibly different and can incorporate a range of climate objectives. Please contact us directly to discuss how we can support you.

We have developed opportunities to harness Virtual Reality, gaming and narrative learning to engage communities with climate change learning. We have set this contemporary way of learning against a backdrop of climate research. All of this is brought together in our ‘Hot Topic’ learning projects and exhibitions.

Climate consultancy support is an integral feature in all our environmental work. It can be challenging to relay, engage and present climate related content in an accessible way.

We provide specialist support in this space in the following guise:

• Developing specialised and accessible engagement strategies to share environmental plans and policy with the general public
  
• Strategic climate support to enhance environmental aims and objectives
• Engagement development through bespoke content design
• Developing climate action plans
• Designing and facilitating a climate narrative within a variety of contexts
• Targeted support to develop engagement with hard to reach communities.

Our consultancy offer is a truly bespoke, we look forward to discussing your needs with you.

We are passionate about reducing ‘Climate Anxiety’. This thread runs through all of our learning projects, exhibitions and content. We address this by exploring a solution based approach, promote well-being strategies and making science accessible. We have developed a therapeutic approach with counselling professionals collaborating on our output.

Professionals, employees and facilitators can find climate change a complex and challenging topic to dissect. Delivering green aims and ambitions needs careful strategic support.

Staff can find climate related policy, commitment and mitigation difficult to relate too in their every day context and setting. We can assist in making sure that a consistent and clear approach is adopted to maximise climate tangible action.

We offer a range of bespoke CPD and Training sessions to address the needs of colleagues and enable them to develop competency, commitment and clarity in delivering your environmental aims.

We have delivered impactful CPD to Teachers, Heritage professionals alongside the private sector.

Our supportive approach can be delivered as part of a structured ‘quick hit’ or a more sustained approach to climate awareness and strategy development, both virtually and in person. Every session is bespoke to your specific needs.

We can tailor this offer to include therapeutic support for colleagues who may feel anxious about climate change in a wider context through our partner organisation, ‘Cloud’.

At Elysium Environmental Learning, we can design bespoke climate action projects to meet your environmental and engagement aims. Both physically and digitally. We can develop and host climate engagement concepts or act as a ‘delivery partner’ depending on your need. Each ‘Hot Topic’ project or exhibition is completely bespoke, skinned and designed in collaboration with you to maximise outcomes and impact.

We design bespoke exhibitions which can be woven against a backdrop of existing exhibitions and artefacts or create specific climate engagements content to empower communities and inspire action.

We collaborate with Heritage sites, wild places, conservation areas, Museums, Visitor Attractions, public spaces, Charitable Foundations and Local Authorities to help them engage with audiences on an enhanced level.

We also offer a consultancy service to help you develop your offer, empowering you to develop your environmental and sustainable offer inclusively.

Our partners at Imagine Lab Education work more broadly on re-imagining your onsite and outreach learning content. You can find out more about their work at www.imaginelabeducation.com

Through collaborations with Learning and Engagement Professionals, Curators and Artists, we are able to design and build thought provoking and accessible opportunities for climate action learning designed for heritage settings.

To celerate our ongoing collaboration with ‘HEAT’ and their vision for a National Centre for Climate Learning, we are developing City based, heritage learning projects for every major town and city in the UK, exploring our industrial heritage in conjunction with a sustainable future. These will be available to Museums, Art Galleries and Visitor Centres from April 2024.

Primary School Learning::

Secondary School Learning:

For Schools (Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 5) and Colleges, no matter what your curriculum model, we can help you deliver climate action learning with impactful and measurable outcomes.

Ahead of the 2025 launch of a specialised Environmental Studies GCSE, we can make sure your learners have access to the right learning content to inspire them to climate action.

Our outcomes support:

• a bespoke platform, tailored to your institutions needs with a designed assessment rubric based around ‘National Age Related Expectations’
  
• an effective and immersive approach to enhancing Personal Development
• encourage a multi-disciplinary approach to learning
• becoming part of a learning community by collaborating with other learners and schools across the world
• support skills required to be successful in gaining employment
• having the opportunity for your learners to have a real, tangible and authentic experience in reversing the effects of climate change, reducing anxiety and supporting their well-being
• achieve participation accreditation towards your Schools environmental objectives
  

Each chapter hosts a range of challenges linked to climate exploration. Learners are supported with supporting QR indexed information using their digital device.

They are also supported by a range of Virtual Reality experiences, a complete 360 degree experience. A detailed support hub and educators guide make mapping to your curriculum a doddle. Our Education Team are on hand to support you through the learning process via our Educators Guide and online support.

The ‘Hot Topic’ encompasses virtual travel to observe what climate change really looks like in order to deepen connections to the issue.

Our learning chapters support an interdisciplinary approach and create opportunities to learn through exploration.

Learners have opportunities to vlog, design digital solutions and engage with the outside world, enhancing their Cultural Capital, Personal Development and RSHE curriculum.

Our Earth Defender Award for Schools and Colleges

Schools and Colleges who choose to deliver the ‘Hot Topic’ can

achieve ‘Earth Defender’ award accreditation annually.

We want to recognise the fantastic work that young people do in

trying to enact climate action in their local area. Host schools will

have the opportunity to submit evidence of a substantial climate

action project that impacted the school community in a positive way.

This evidence will be reviewed by our Education Team and if successful,

an Earth Defender Award will be issued to display with pride in celebration.

Our accreditation process is short and keeps work load to a minimum for educators. It should be applied for on the basis of school leaders supporting young people in a sustained and sustainable way and also make a positive long term commitment to climate action in their setting.

School community projects could range from supporting positive recycling, to a climate action campaign, to making a documentary. However, we want you to be creative! School leaders can also nominate exceptional young climate action learners who have gone above and beyond as part of our #earthhero24 campaign.

New for 2024...

For schools and educators who are looking to start their climate action learning with a ‘bitesize’ approach, our new monthly ‘climate hit’ is available via subscription.

‘Dispatches’ (Secondary) and ‘Superheroz Bulletin’ (Primary) will provide short, sharp learning tasks that will inspire climate action around key contemporary issues, every month.

Tasks are linked to key National Curriculum outcomes, just like our ‘Hot Topic Education’ programme, however, learning undertaken in our monthly ‘hit’ are completely different to the projects featured in ‘Hot Topic’.

Areas of the developing world are at most risk from the effects brought about by climate change. We will endeavour to develop and lead projects internationally that:

• support climate action learning
• that mitigate the physical climate risks to communities
• provide the learning tools to schools and educators to bring about change

Our International Project Team will initially focus their support on communities in the South Pacific (Phase 1) who are currently experiencing exponential risk to homes, livelihoods and communities as a consequence of climate change.

We will champion the cause of conservation programmes and provide learning support to organisations who need our assistance across the globe.

Our learning resources and materials have been crafted into over sixty languages to collaborate with international communities both within the United Kingdom and globally.

We will work collaboratively with global partners to support engagement and harness the collective understanding of climate change in schools and communities all over the world.

Our ambition for both home and abroad, will only come to fruition with effective partnerships. We want to work with you to maximise our impact. Our ‘Global Ambassador’ programme will engage and inspire positive action for generations to come.

We will need your help!
