On the afternoon of Friday 7th February 2025, the MBC Further Education Working Group will be re-launched. This group will be an educator-led space, where, over 18-months colleagues will be supported to explore how to best prepare young people for the green jobs of the future. Innovative Sustainability-led businesses will be invited to collaborate and inspire the group throughout this period. The group will have up to ?2000 in seed funding that they can use to decide how best to design and deliver a project, resources or a campaign that link day-to-day teaching practice with green skills, knowledge and values.

About MBC Working Groups

Working Groups will launch in February 2025; each choosing how they would like to explore sustainability and environmental education and wellbeing in the setting you work in. We expect between 5 and 15 colleagues in each of the following groups, 1) Further Education 2) Early Years 3) Primary Education 4) Secondary Education 5) Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Education and 6) Alternative Provision. The MBC team will be on hand to support each group as you meet regularly to explore your collective interests and develop projects, curriculum resources or campaigns that you think will make a difference in your setting.

Top notch CPD designed especially for the Morecambe Bay Curriculum will be delivered by colleagues from Lancaster University, Eden Project and University of Cumbria. Through this work colleagues will have the opportunity to shape the future of both the Morecambe Bay Curriculum and the Eden Project.

Time Commitment

We’re recruiting for an 18-month cycle, starting in February, Spring 1 2025 and culminating in July, Summer 2, 2026. Over that time we foresee the following time commitments:

• Working Group Timings: Each group will be supported to agree collectively how regularly you want to meet to develop plans. These meetings may be monthly, or once every two months. They could be 60-90 minutes. Depending on your project, you may decide to check in between meetings.
• We will have an initial kick-off event full of inspiration and CPD, this will take place in the afternoon of Friday 7^th February 2025.

Every term from then on, there will be an inter-phase CPD twilight focussing either on inspirational talks, project tools, checking in and other support. We will alternate between online and in person twilights. The in-person twilights will take place in various locations around the Bay to ensure that we are representing the Bay fully and will support transportation as much as possible.

Who can join an MBC Working Group?

The majority of places on working groups will be reserved for practising teachers and educators in Further Education. We will also reserve a number of places for colleagues who work for charities, businesses, local government, in Higher Education, retired colleagues or those from other organisations that support the educational sectors above.

The areas we class as being in and around Morecambe Bay include; Barrow and Furness, Westmorland and Lonsdale, Morecambe and Lunesdale, Lancaster and Fleetwood, Wyre and Preston North. If you live on the borders of these areas, we'd still like to hear from you.

If you are working in a college, we hope that your senior colleagues would support you to undertake this personal development opportunity and allow you to attend the launch event on the afternoon of Friday 7^th February at Lancaster University.
