Schools
Helping schools transform everyday spaces into living classrooms.
We partner with educators to create hands-on learning experiences that complement sustainability education and help students build a deeper relationship with the living world around them. Through food, gardens, compost and neighbourhood exploration, students discover how living systems work—and how everyday actions can care for the living Earth.
Every school is different. We begin by listening.
We work with educators to design learning experiences that support your school's curriculum, enrichment goals, and student interests.
Whether you're looking for a one-off workshop or a longer-term programme, we tailor experiences that help students connect with food, nature, and living systems through observation, exploration, and practice.
We work with a network of educators, growers, researchers, artists, and community practitioners, bringing together the people and perspectives best suited to your goals.
Examples include:
Food & Living Systems
Helping students discover the relationships that sustain everyday life.
Whether through a keynote, a workshop, or a series of sessions, we help students and educators explore how food connects us with people, places, and the living Earth. Together, we follow the journey of food—from where it thrives and who grows it, to how food is prepared, shared, wasted, or returned to the Earth.
Along the way, we invite participants to explore how our everyday food choices shape our relationships with people and the living systems that sustain us.
Partnerships may include:
-
Assembly talks and keynote presentations
-
Curated learning journeys
-
Food systems and sustainability workshops
-
Farm and community visits
-
Conversations with growers, chefs, makers, and practitioners
-
School-based projects and follow-up learning

We help students participate in living systems by caring for a shared composting system.
Students discover how compost heaps function as living ecosystems. Through hands-on composting, they learn to source materials from the school and surrounding community, while building confidence to care for a shared composting system. Along the way, they build confidence to engage their peers and the wider community through shared environmental stewardship.
