This session will explore how the Morecambe Bay Curriculum (MBC) movement has been embedding place-based environmental education into everyday practice across the North West coast. We will demonstrate how we brought structure to a grass-roots movement, share examples from teacher-led projects and explain the processes of curriculum co-design work, which has seen academics and teachers create innovative resources across diverse subject areas and age phases. The MBC has inspired teachers from Fleetwood to Barrow to rethink their approach to education by celebrating the significance of local places from ecological, cultural, historical and geographical perspectives. This is a fast-growing movement which has brought together many individuals and groups to collaborate and share their expertise, all in the hope of creating a a better future for children and young people. By sharing this story, we hope to inspire others and provide a transferable model of how to achieve lasting change.
