Climate Action Storytelling Toolkit

This toolkit has been designed to help your students find their voices as advocates for the Earth. Students will learn how to translate environmental awareness into compelling narratives that inspire action. Whether they are imagining a hopeful future, fighting for nature restoration or reflecting on the biodiversity in their own backyard, these lessons empower young people to shift from being passive observers to active storytellers for climate action and biodiversity conservation.

What to expect in this toolkit:

  • 3 customisable lesson plans, bite-sized activities and discussion questions to help develop storytelling abilities alongside SDG skills  
    • Storytelling mediums covered in lesson plans: collage art, poetry, film
  • Extension activity for students ages 14+

Voices of the Earth

This lesson is part of WLL’s Climate Action Storytelling Toolkit.

Voices of the Earth uses performance poetry to bridge the gap between environmental science and creative writing. By analysing the poem: Hope by Salome Agbaroji students explore how personification (giving nature a human voice) can create an emotional connection that facts and figures often miss. Students will move from being passive listeners to active advocates, craft their own “voice for the voiceless,” and perform their work in class.

Collage Art: Hopes for Our Planet

This lesson is part of WLL’s Climate Action Storytelling Toolkit.

Students explore biodiversity and their hopes for the planet through a nature walk and collage-making. Outside, they collect natural materials; back inside, they combine found objects, prints, and drawings on a heart-shaped canvas to create a personal vision for a thriving 2030.

SDG 16 in Action: How Peace, Justice, and Institutions Shape Our World

This interactive lesson helps students explore the links between peace, justice, strong institutions, and democracy. Through discussion, role-play, and creative projects, learners examine how fairness, trust, and empathy strengthen communities from schools to the global stage.

The session includes a deeper dive into peacebuilding, highlighting how creativity and collaboration can resolve conflicts and inspire hope.
