Damien Hewitt - Plant the Seed

 

ThoughtBox is delighted to be connecting with South African educators Plant the Seed through our free Changing Climates curriculum. The team at Plant the Seed have mapped our programme to South African learning frameworks and are sharing it far and wide amongst their educator community, helping to inspire conversations and empowerment spaces when focusing on the climate crisis.

Damien Hewitt and the team from Plant the Seed are passionate about invigorating young people with climate and ecological issues through what they term ‘relevant and engaging learning’.

Originating from studies in Education, Damien is eager to combine his passion for the wonders of nature into the everyday classroom environments in South Africa and joined forces with two friends to set up this learning project.

Plant the Seed are dedicated to aligning and connecting learning material and experiences to youth in South Africa, aiming to inspire a future generation of change-makers whilst also equipping and supporting driven teachers inside their classrooms. More than content, they are building a learning community of teachers to share, grow and connect together in this vital learning space.

Through his own work and the work of Plant the Seed, Damien stands committed to growing and supporting the community of educators focused on sustainable education across South Africa.
