What is a Rewrite?
Rewrite is a self-guided online programme that explains why climate change is happening, and explains the solutions and innovations we have to change the world. We believe that if we can change how people feel about the issue of climate change, we can change the way they respond to it. Watch this one minute video to learn more. Upon completion, your students will feel inspired, hopeful and positive about their future. We need every type of learner primed to respond to climate change. There is a world of possibility. There is a lot to be excited about!
