Announcing the Swansea Schools & Climate Education Event - 15/03/24

We are thrilled to announce an exciting event that marks a significant step forward in climate education for primary schools in Swansea: the Swansea Schools & Climate Education event. This event is set to take place on March 15th, 2024, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at the iconic Liberty Stadium in Swansea, SA1 2FA.

In a groundbreaking collaboration, Swansea Building Society, Swansea Council, and Connex Education Wales have come together to introduce 'Our Classroom Climate' to all primary schools in the region.
