Join Moley in Global Action Days for Environmental Action
Get ready to stomp, soak, drum, and dance — Global Action Days is officially underway, celebrating our connection to nature and our responsibility towards it. This exciting initiative, led by the Foundation for Environmental Education in collaboration with the Soil Association and Two Daughters Entertainment, encourages children to explore the fascinating underground world of worms and soil superheroes during the Global Soil Safari. This vibrant event kicked off on Earth Day and will extend for two weeks, aiming to teach young minds about the importance of ecosystem restoration.
Global Participation in a Fun Initiative
With participation from over 589,000 children across 142 countries, the Global Action Days celebration showcases a truly international effort. It’s an excellent time for schools and families to join the fun and make a difference before the concluding event on May 3. Moley, the star of an award-winning animated series, along with his best friend Squirm, is leading this educational adventure by unveiling the critical roles that moles, worms, and soil play in our ecosystems.
Meet Moley: Your Guide to Soil Adventures
Moley is more than just an adorable character; he is a nature-infused teaching tool. As nature's underground engineers, moles like Moley play a key role in maintaining healthy soil and fostering biodiversity. Through engaging storytelling and play, children of all ages will learn about these concepts and their crucial contributions to the environment.
Interactive Learning Through the Soil Safari
One of the most exciting elements of this year's campaign is the “Soil Safari,” a hands-on citizen science experiment designed to engage children in a fun and memorable way. Participants will use a plethora of activities, including dancing, drumming, watering, and stomping, to entice worms from a one-square-meter patch of soil. This interactive experience not only makes learning enjoyable but also emphasizes how the presence of worms is indicative of healthy soil. Children can see firsthand how restoration activities can aid in nurturing our planet.
The Power of Creativity in Environmental Education
This year’s activities are celebrated because they bring environmental learning to life through creativity and science. The Foundation for Environmental Education, the Soil Association, and Two Daughters Entertainment are collaborating to inspire children worldwide to take action to heal our planet’s ecosystems. With engaging and educational experiences, children will learn about sustainability as they laugh and play together, embracing the spirit of cooperation.
A Shared Commitment to a Sustainable Future
In the words of Lee Wray-Davies, Director of Education at the Foundation for Environmental Education, “Global Action Days is about making real change fun, memorable, and meaningful for children around the world. By collaborating with Moley and The Soil Association, this year we aim to welcome even more participants than ever before.”
The partnership focuses on understanding the tremendous benefits of soil health through creative storytelling, emphasizing the education of future generations.
