In this Podcast members of EnCaf Youth and the Youth Parliament interview Henry Greenwood on The Green School Project.

\\n

The idea of a Green School is one that is gaining traction across the globe. On November 19th at 7.0pm members of EnCaf Youth and the Youth Parliament will be interviewing Henry Greenwood who has started a Green School Project in the UK.

\\n

As part of the first cohort of Teach First in 2003 Henry trained as a Maths teacher at Kingsmead School in Enfield. During his time at the school he created and developed the role of Sustainability Coordi\\xadnator. He assembled a group of enthusiastic Year 12 students who then embarked on an energy saving campaign that saved the school around \\xa335,000 over 3 years, started a recycling competition in which 93% of forms took part, installed solar panels, created a vegetable garden selling potatoes, onions and carrots to staff, and carried out various other projects for which they were awarded the Eco-Schools Green Flag.

\\n

After 2 years as Head of Maths at Skinners\\u2019 Academy in Hackney he decided to step out of teaching in order to start Green Schools Project. The ideas and resources built up during the successful programme at Kingsmead have been used as the basis for this.

\\n

There are now over 20 schools involved in The Green School Project and we are really pleased that EnCaf Youth are interviewing him so the idea can spread to Enfield from where the idea originally started.
