Over this period, the initiative successfully engaged 739 student across 15 primary schools through 16 “Climate Talks” and 2 Climate Champion Training days designed to be both digestible and fun. By breaking down science into “first-principles” and using relatable characters and language, IAMovement educated young learners on critical topics such as nature-based solutions, including mangroves and vetiver grass, along with renewable energy, and the practical differences between weather and climate. These sessions were grounded in the local SEA curriculum, ensuring the lessons were both educationally relevant and impactful.

The highlight of the project was the hands-on engagement that brought environmental theory to life. Students participated in the “Earth Hero Challenge,” expressing their creativity through poems, posters, and videos to earn a spot in the intensive Climate Champion Training Days. During these training days at IAMovement’s educational nursery, students moved beyond the classroom to “get into the dirt,” learning to plant vetiver hedgerows for soil stabilization and building their own self-sustaining terrariums.

The initiative culminated in a holistic effort that also equipped 18 local teachers with the resources and knowledge to continue climate education in their own classrooms. By partnering with organizations like the Environmental Management Authority, Terrarium Crew TT, and Ecovybz, IAMovement has created a collaborative ecosystem of learning. This project is not just about teaching facts; it is about inspiring a cultural shift toward environmental stewardship, ensuring that every child feels empowered to implement the solutions that count for a cleaner, more resilient Caribbean.
