Fleur Rossdale
Author and Founder DCCI
Fleur Rossdale is a passionate advocate for storytelling to help children discover purpose and adventure through a fantasy world rooted in real-life environmental challenges. She merges imagination with urgency—translating the harsh truths of climate change into empowering narratives that young minds can understand and act upon. Fleur has established a Charity and Community Fundraising vehicle through the DCCI School Awards to help climate charities around the world, uniting nations through the love of nature.
Her well-received children's books, The Woodland Sprite Series, use theatre and storytelling to awaken awareness and drive action. Taken by Storm, the first in the series, is now being performed by schools around the world, uniting students through performance, creativity, and purpose. The Farm, the third book in the series, explores critical issues in the food system and showcases real-life regenerative projects that protect soil health and promote sustainable farming. Collaborations include organizations such as JustDiggit, Klim, and Communities EverGreening Africa. Fleur’s remarkable career establishing unprecedented, internationally acclaimed design exhibitions, propelled British Design and craftsmanship onto an international stage. She championed timeless design, protected dying trades, and curated excellence with a keen eye for cultural legacy. Today, she channels that same visionary spirit into climate action - bridging education, the arts, and sustainability through the DCCI School Awards, with children leading the way. Her leadership continues to inspire a growing global movement, uniting nations through the love of nature and the belief that every child has the power to make a difference.

“My stories are written to awaken a sense of wonder, courage, and responsibility in young people. The DCCI School Awards bring those values to life - uniting schools across the world to turn imagination into action and stories into solutions that honour both people and planet.”
