Future We Want

Great product - have used with councillors, children, colleagues and at public exhibitions to open conversations about the decisions we make every day and the influence we can have on our environment to the good!

My 1st year students really enjoyed using this game during welcome week and it was a nice way of getting the cohort to talk in class. I even got a round of applause from them :)

Brilliant training on what can sometimes be a difficult and emotive subject. The Banana game helps to lighten it up and gets people to think without being confrontational. The trainers were brilliant and I highly recommend :-)

‘The Bananas Game’: 1) Simple – you can use it with any age group, any level of ability, any role in an organization or learning environment, 2) Flexible – you build in the use of the game into existing activities, use as an icebreaker, create a whole learning session or as an engagement activity with other stakeholders/public and 3) Unique – there really is nothing like it to get the conversation started about personal, team or organisational behaviours, objectives and actions.‘Carbon Literacy for Educators Course’: Emma is a great facilitator and tutor. Her programme was really enjoyable and engaging at both a personal and professional level. Of course, the use of the How Bad are Bananas game as a tool for teaching really helped in ensuring we all had plenty of new knowledge to take away and apply in our teaching. I can highly recommend Emma and her course to anyone wanting to upskill their own Carbon Literacy but also to have the tools to help others in all learning environments. Perfect training if you are a school teacher, college/university lecturer or volunteer youth trainer.

Future We Want's training for schools is excellent - robust, detailed, and accessible. Likewise, the 'How bad are bananas?' game is brilliant - engaging and thought-provoking for 7 to 70-year-olds. I heartily recommend both to any school wanting to engage pupils and staff in environmental matters in an informative and fun way.

Carbon literacy training was engaging, empowering and even fun! I learnt a lot and feel inspired! Thanks so much to Emma!

Cardinal Newman College was fortunate to be given the opportunity to access this fantastic resource and training. It was delivered clearly and interactively. It was positive and engaging group conversations about the climate crisis and the impact we can have both individually and as a group. Their materials were well delivered and the Bananas game really opened our eyes to things we wouldn't have necessarily thought of as having an impact. We are excited to cascade the resources and educate staff and students in College and continue spreading and beginning Carbon Conversations

The 'How bad are bananas' game is an elegant, fun and thought-provoking way to get people thinking about their carbon footprint. We have successfully used it to train staff at University Centre Reaseheath and also at school outreaches. It is suitable for a range of educational levels and experiences and can quickly be adapted for different situations.

Great training, delivered by Emma who is very knowledgeable, not just about the subject of climate change but on how to engage with people around it. Have bought the bananas game and can't wait to start using it with our audiences! Highly recommend.

Educating about climate change is tricky and challenging. Dr Emma is a superb educator and facilitator in her own right. Add in the How Bad are Bananas carbon footprint game and it takes it to a whole other level of engagement. If you want the mix of climate science and fun interactive carbon literacy look no further.
