YPTE to release home teaching packs in partnership with TotalEnergies

TotalEnergies in the UK is pleased to support a new initiative from the Young People’s Trust for the Environment.

In response to the UK school lockdown, the YPTE has put in place a series of free-to-download home teaching packs. Created by experts and an experienced Education Officer, these packs will help parents who are looking for quality education material, easy to deliver at home.

Each pack will contain key learning materials, along with suggestions for activities that children can do to reinforce their learning.

TotalEnergies in the UK has been the proud sponsor of the YPTE since 2006. In 2019, TotalEnergies launched a new partnership with YPTE, providing free Online Lesson Plans for all UK primary school teachers. Since its launch, 77.000 plans have been downloaded, which is enough to reach about 2.3 million children across the UK. The YPTE is now producing packs for parents to use at home rather than materials for teachers to use in schools.

Ladislas Paszkiewicz, Chair of TotalEnergies in the UK said, “In these challenging times, we’re happy to work with the YPTE to quickly start producing learning packs for parents to use from home. We hope that it helps families and encourages children to keep exploring science and the environment.”

Peter Littlewood, Director of YPTE said, “We know that the days might be seeming very long now that children are at home all day with their parents. So we want to provide parents with some ideas for inspiring their kids to think about the natural world - things that the whole family can enjoy doing - that help to restore the link with nature. We have plans for lots more and there will be a new pack released every Friday until the school closures end.”
