Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots
Welcome to Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots, the education programme for young people. Roots & Shoots encourages children to implement practical positive change for people, animals and the environment by providing teachers with free resources and activities. It enables your class to learn about their local environment and show how they can help make a positive change to improve the future.
This year, Roots & Shoots is celebrating the 50th anniversary of when British primatologist, Jane Goodall, first began her groundbreaking studies of chimpanzees at Gombe National Park in western Tanzania. To mark the occasion this term, we have developed a new Gombe Mission and set of related activities for your class to try out.
Once you have completed an activity or other project that involves people, animals or the environment, why not tell us about it and post a story on the website? By doing so, your class may receive a Roots & Shoots Termly Award. You may wish to see some recently completed projects for more inspiration. All schools who post online will receive an award certificate, and those schools who write the most detailed and interesting accounts will be eligible for a Roots & Shoots Silver or Gold Award Certificate and may even get the chance to meet Dr Jane Goodall herself at our annual Roots & Shoots Award Ceremony.
