The Oxford Deanery Climate & Nature Collaborative is a three-day professional development series for school teachers. It convenes leading experts, dedicated educators, and practitioners to deepen understanding of the interconnected nature of climate change and our relationship with the natural world. Rooted in the latest research on climate and nature education, the Collaborative is about picking up the pace—accelerating resilience, amplifying hope, and sparking meaningful engagement.

This is intended to be transformational for your teaching. The learning, strategies, and connections forged here are designed to carry forward into your classrooms, schools, and communities—long after the conference ends. By foregrounding both scientific knowledge, emotional awareness, and human-nature connections, the series supports teachers in co-creating practical strategies and inspiring approaches that empower students to envision—and build—constructive futures.

Ticket price includes lunch on Friday and Saturday and a speaker/participant dinner (taking place on either the Thursday or Friday).
