student ambassadors 2025-2026

Our extremely popular Student Ambassador Programme is an opportunity for students to collaborate with other students in schools across Ireland.

The Student Ambassadors hear from an impressive array of guest speakers, increase their knowledge and understanding of climate and nature issues, develop invaluable skills and work on a climate action project with their fellow ambassadors. 

Who is this Resource for? - Secondary Students. 3rd-6th Year. 

This year we have ambassadors from 17 different schools from every corner of the country taking part across 11 counties

What is the focus for 2025-6?

In 2025/26, we are deepening our approach by focusing the programme on “The Green Energy Transition” through the lens of Global Citizenship Education. The aim is to critically examine the systems, ethics, and equity dimensions of energy production and consumption.

Topics students are exploring include:

• An introduction into energy production and consumption in Ireland

• What a “just Transition” means in practice

• The social and environmental impact of energy technologies

• Global supply chains and human rights concerns

• Fuel poverty in Ireland and globally

• Community based Energy approaches

The Ambassadors are delivering an energy workshop in their schools and will work towards a final showcase in March 2025.
