E-Rey

At E-Rey, it's our mission to educate children and youth about sustainability. Teaching the young generations - who grow up with fast fashion, cheap travel and electronics on the one hand and a growing climate crisis on the other - will be pivotal to reducing global warming and establishing a long-term sustainable relationship with nature. We want to bring sustainability education into every classroom! How do we do that? In our workshop branch, we cooperate with schools, youth centres and makerspaces to run sustainability workshops. Through stories and games, we teach schoolchildren about topics such as the lifecycle of everyday consumer materials, energy and water. In our content branch, we work on creating an extensive library of sustainability-themed teaching materials for teachers. So for example math questions that deal with differentiation and thematically cover a CO2 problem, indirectly teaching the students about the facts. Or a text for English literature that asks to analyse the argument the author makes for protecting polar bears. In all our efforts, we aim to have the students explore the concepts themselves and develop a critical mind. Since the sustainability space is so cluttered with various facts and claims, we also help them develop data literacy skills that will enable them to make their own judgements based on scientific evidence.
