Experience Something Different (ESD) develops, designs and delivers real-world field trips
for Key Stage 3-5 pupils. We support UNESCO’s Education for Sustainable Development goals
while tailoring each trip to your school’s curricular and extracurricular requirements.
We work with teachers and listen to students, building you an unforgettable day of cultural
capital and Learning Outside the Classroom.
Inspiring Positive Change
Climate, curriculum and career: we introduce students
to the people, businesses and organisations at the heart
of sustainable change.
We create a unique opportunity for young people to
engage with business, charities and government leaders
personally; to question; learn from and challenge business
and sustainability leaders.
Our goal is to inspire young people by introducing
them to the individuals and organisations focused on,
and committed to, making a sustainable difference.
We help students uncover diverse opportunities where
sustainability and creativity meet. We prove that working
together towards a sustainable future is rewarding and
exciting for young people.
Climate
We work with teachers to inspire students to become the
new champions of sustainability.
Curriculum

built, educational field-trips meet your specific learning
objectives and deliver a practical application of UNESCO’s
Education for Sustainable Development initiative.
Career

offering students a behind-the-scenes insight into current
sustainable practices, emerging and future trends.

ESD is currently running:

Workshops and talks by leaders in the city’s start-up ecosphere:
