Climate Museum UK doesn’t have a building (yet), and our activities happen where our members live. We also do activities such as monthly themed gatherings and training sessions online. We are developing online resources through partnership projects, and by slowly gathering links in various digital tools. 

Find us on social media on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Learning and Training Resources

Eco Arts Learning

Participatory arts methods for engaging young people with climate and environmental issues. This resource is an outcome of our Ecologies in Practice collaboration with the Centre for Arts and Learning at Goldsmith’s College, in which we developed three arts-led workshops and worked with five schools and a group of students to test them. 

Imagine Futures

Creative tools for imagining futures with young people, developed with the support of Norfolk & Norwich Festival. There are eight workshop outlines and one in particular has been fully tested, and all the slides, handouts and a film of the day are provided. 

Climate and Colonialism 

This educational resource – created in collaboration with A New Direction – focuses on the locations of Jamaica and Nigeria to explore questions about British colonialism and links to the climate crisis we face today.

Guide to the Global Goals

In this learning resource we summarise each Sustainable Development Goal, or Global Goal, and provide ten activities or further resources for working with groups of adults or young people. 

Make Climate History

This timeline resource offers hundreds of events since 1850 that help us learn about climate change and the wider Earth crisis, its causes, evidence for it, impacts and solutions. See this Make Climate History project in Norwich for an idea of an activity. 

Resources for Lockdown Learning

During the pandemic, we put together resources for parents, young people and teachers to explore climate and biodiversity issues while learning at home. Resources for Lockdown Learning on climate and ecology.

Networks and Projects for the Planet

A growing collection on the Notion platform of initiatives, networks, resources and more on climate and biodiversity. Please comment to add more to relevant sections. 

Social Campaigns

Extreme Weather Stories

A growing collection of experiences and stories about extreme weather, which is being worsened by climate breakdown. We invite you to submit articles and creative pieces. 

Everyday Ecocide

In this social collecting project, we highlight and discuss how our everyday thinking and communications are blind to the environment. Join in Facebook, follow, and use the hashtag #everydayecocide

Stories of Extraction

Our Activist Museum Award allowed us to enquire into Digital Commons Collecting and the idea of Extractivism. We looked into how to put an #EcoLensOnThings – highlighting the climate and ecology stories behind art, history & science collections online. We invited many articles on these topics, that you can read here. We also generated a vision for digital engagement around climate. 

Climate Music

We are growing a collection of music and songs about climate change and the environment. Please share your climate music with us via climatemuseumuk@gmail.com or tagging us on Instagram. 

Cultural Reviews

We are inviting reviews of books, exhibitions, events, films and other media, around climate and biodiversity issues, which we post on our blog.
