At Educake, we believe that learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door – it reaches out into the world, inspiring real-world action and deeper understanding. That’s why we’re so proud to share that this summer we’re helping to sponsor Grace, a year 12 student at James Calvert Spence College in Northumberland, to take part in an environmental expedition to Costa Rica.
Organised by Camps International, the trip gives students a hands-on opportunity to explore some of the most ecologically important areas on Earth. Grace will be part of a team learning about conservation, biodiversity, and sustainability through practical experience and cultural exchange.
Why Costa Rica?
Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. Despite covering just 0.03% of the planet’s surface, it’s home to over 5% of the world’s biodiversity. That makes it an incredibly important ecosystem for understanding the impacts of climate change and the urgent need to protect natural environments.
From cloud forests to coastal mangroves, Grace’s expedition will provide a unique opportunity to see first-hand how climate science connects to the real world. It’s a perfect example of the kind of immersive learning experience that can inspire lifelong interest and action.
Our commitment to climate education
This sponsorship reflects our broader mission to support climate education in and out of the classroom. At Educake, we’re passionate about helping students explore the science behind climate change and empowering them to engage with the world around them.
