Dirt Is Good

The ways we have been living have led to major threats to our natural world and the younger generation will experience the most serious consequences of these actions. These rapid changes are taking a toll on young people’s mental well-being. Working with Unilever as thought leadership partner for Persil’s Dirt Is Good Project, we commissioned new research to explore young people’ s values and how they perceive the values of others.

Flickers of the Future

The way that we depict the future plays a critical part in how it unfolds, and research shows that the bleak dystopias that films are currently portraying create fear, denial and passivity. Flickers of the future is a competition calling on young content creators to tell a different story - one where humans and planet thrive together.

Stop Targeted Advertising to Kids

Children are bombarded with advertising online, much of it precision targeted and highly manipulative. Unlike on TV, there are no rules limiting the the number of adverts shown to kids online. It's time there were. And it's time to stop targeted advertising to children, full stop. 

Goals for Good

Goals for Good is an exciting new course that draws from research into positive psychology and sustainability to help young people live happier, healthier, and more planet friendly lifestyles.The course helps participants to challenge traditional notions of success, explore the five ways to wellbeing, find meaning and purpose by considering the effect of their goals beyond themselves and increase determination and use their strength to help achieve their goals.

#idontbuyit

Our highly consumerist society teaches us that owning more equates to individual success and at Global Action Plan, we just don't buy it. '#Idontbuyit' calls out the forces that drive hyper-consumption and exposes the marketing techniques that are harmful to young people and the planet. Consuming less and focusing on what makes us happy are critical in combating climate change and boosting wellbeing. #Idontbuyit supports young people and parents to challenge the pressure to consume, set your own vision for what a happier, more sustainable future might look like and help you to build a resilience to our toxic culture of looks, likes and shopping. 

Water Explorer

Water links to almost everything in the world and over 2 billion people live in countries experiencing high water stress, which is why it important to educate young people and encourage them and their local community (no matter where they are in the world) to save water and spread the water saving message. Water Explorer inspires and equips students aged 8-14 all over the world to take bold and powerful action to save our precious water through fun water saving Missions.

Pollinator Paths

Even small spaces can help struggling pollinators, a windowsill box full of rocket is enough to harvest greens for your salad and provides much needed nectar and pollen for a passing solitary bee. Pollinator Paths is working with community groups in Edmonton to raise awareness of pollinators and their critical role for plants to produce fruit and seeds, and to encourage a community of growers 

H2O Heroes

H2O Heroes gives students the skills and support to design their own behaviour-change campaign - to get fellow students and their communities saving water. We run workshops to get students thinking about the sustainability of our water supply, and encourage them to talk to peers, teachers and families about it.
