Calor Sustainability Day 2023 and Rewrite Partnership

Calor Sustainability Day 2023 and Rewrite Partnership
As part of Calor’s Sustainability Day, Vicky Brown and Sonya Murray from the Rewrite programme joined Calor to discuss the programme and Calor’s involvement.

Calor’s Commitment to Sustainability Education

The Rewrite programme is part of CoolPlanet Group, a family of revolutionary companies working with global industry to cool the planet as fast as possible. Rewrite is a digital climate action training programme for school children, aiming to teach students about sustainability and climate change, and what they can do to help address it.

Calor is a sponsor of 600 places for the programme, which helps educate the younger generation on climate change and provides them with tools to make positive changes.

An Interactive Learning Experience

The interactive, blended learning programme consists of 12 modules covering a range of topics, including energy, forestry, and fashion, where students learn about the lifecycle of clothing. The programme combines self-directed online learning, interactive activities, and offline assignments. Successful completion of the 12 modules also counts toward the Community section of the Gaisce awards that transition year students undertake.

The Impact of the Rewrite Programme

Speaking about the programme, Catherine Ryan from Calor said:

“The Rewrite programme is a fantastic initiative that engages young students in the topic of climate change. Teachers are provided with a full curriculum and lesson plans to make it easy and accessible to teach students. We have seen extremely positive feedback from both students and teachers, and it's great to see the enthusiasm from the students.”

Teachers have noted that students become more engaged with sustainability topics and are eager to continue learning beyond the programme.

Inspiring Future Generations

The programme introduces students to innovative solutions and potential career opportunities, highlighting the vast opportunities available in sustainability-related fields.
