 The Climate Connection episode 2 Episode 2 in our ten-part podcast series exploring the relationship between the climate crisis and language education talks to two young climate activists who have already made a significant impact in this area. Jouja Maamri is the UK's delegate to the G7 Youth Summit. She talks about the vital role language plays in addressing the climate crisis. Sophia Kianni shares with us her experience of setting up Climate Cardinals, a volunteer-led not-for-profit which translates climate information into 100+ languages. |

|  Are you active or not? This lesson for primary pupils at CEFR level A2 and above helps learners think about their health and how active they are. Learners take part in a short exercise routine and classify activities according to their intensity. They think about the importance of doing physical activity and plan their own short routine, which they lead for their group. They also do a simple quiz and make a daily exercise chart for themselves, which they can try to follow outside of class. |

 Taking liberties This lesson plan for secondary and adult students looks at the theme of gender stereotypes and equality. Students will reflect on gender stereotypes, discuss human rights, review vocabulary related to rights and look at a timeline of women's rights in the UK. They will also develop their speaking skills in a discussion activity, and have the option to research their own timeline for another country. |
