Roots & Shoots: Mission Possible
Roots & Shoots is the Jane Goodall Institute’s Education Programme for young people. It inspires practical positive action for people, animals and the environment by developing an understanding of how important a healthy planet is to human survival.
Roots & Shoots: Mission Possible gives a whole host of activities and other resources for teachers that will help your class learn about their local environment and show how you can make a positive change to improve the future.
Once you have completed an activity or other project, why not tell us about it and post a story? By doing so, your class may receive a Roots & Shoots Termly Award. 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.
Projects should involve people, animals or the environment in some way. You may already be working on a suitable activity with your class or you may wish for some inspiration. Roots & Shoots activities are themed around a set of time-travel missions – with the help of the trusty Chrono-Bots you can visit the earth of the future and see the devastation and destruction that awaits if we do nothing. Why not check out the Iceworld Mission now?
Roots & Shoots: Mission Possible resources are available for use by schools and universities in the UK. You can see some of the projects already completed by Roots & Shoots members.
STOP PRESS: Roots & Shoots projects are accredited by Eco Schools in the UK. Projects now count towards the Eco Schools Green Flag award, an international award programme designed to help your school become sustainable. You can find full details on the Eco Schools website.
