What are we fundraising for?

 

We are raising funds to nurture a future generation of climate actionists – young people equipped not only with knowledge, but with the confidence and creativity to communicate and lead.

 

Through the Fleur Rossdale Foundation and the Direct Climate Cooling Initiative (DCCI), we bring together storytelling, art, drama, and science within schools, transforming climate education into something lived, felt, and expressed.

 

Our programmes are already being introduced across Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, and Kenya, with plans to grow an international network of schools connected through shared learning, creative exchange, and real-world environmental action.

 

Funds raised will directly support:

 

•⁠  ⁠The development and delivery of our educational and arts programmes

•⁠  ⁠Resources and opportunities for participating schools and students

•⁠  ⁠The creation of a connected, international network capable of reaching thousands of young people

 

This is about moving beyond awareness – towards agency, communication, and meaningful action.
