Teach the Future is a youth-led campaign to urgently repurpose the entire education system around the climate emergency and ecological crisis.
It’s not good enough that sustainability is restricted to a few subjects and that most of our teachers and lecturers don’t know enough about it. Our education system must teach the truth and prepare us for the future, because we are the future.

DONATE
Originally we asked for £4,000 to cover a parliamentary reception to engage new MPs, the cost of the room hire has now been increased to £7,200 so we have increased our target.
Additionally we have decided to create a Climate Emergency Education bill, the cost of drafting this will be £2,400 bringing our total to £9,600.
We are raising for an additional £1,600 to cover travel and hotel costs for the reception.
