Help your students turn worry into action with this empowering unit on eco-anxiety and climate hope. Designed for Geography Years 7 and 8, the lessons guide students through recognising their feelings about climate change, deepening their connection to the ocean, and discovering the practical steps they can take to create a more sustainable future.
Through reflection, creativity, and stories of inspiring young changemakers, students will learn how to shift from fear to flow by transforming eco-anxiety into curiosity, confidence, and agency. Activities include exploring cultural and personal connections to place, creating a vibrant classroom ocean display, and designing a personal plan for change.
By the end of the unit, students will understand what eco-anxiety is and why it matters, feel strengthened by their appreciation of the ocean’s invisible powers, and be ready to take meaningful action for the planet and their communities.
Blue Minds has developed a unique safe space for you and your students to share your work and insights, straight from your classrooms. Jump into the lessons to learn more and join the community!
