Helping Save Our World
Distance Learning Hub by the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Perth & Kinross SCIO
A 24-week course designed and provided by Perth and Kinross DofE Association suitable for the Silver and Gold sectional certificate.
Helping Save the World came about after the urgency of blending DofE with taking action for climate change. This is an only one of its kind module that encourages you to learn about climate change, to be inspired by other Young People taking action and to make a difference in your daily life through your actions.
Learn and empower yourself on climate change, sustainability and how you can be part of saving the world.
This module has been made possible with wonderful resources from Keep Scotland Beautiful and other publicly available materials.
