What happens at a The Climate Action Challenge event?
The Climate Action Challenge will last for around 2.5 hours but this can change to meet your requirements.
We start with a group briefing, including a presentation from the charity.
Your teams will be split into teams of up to 8 people. Each team has a base station and must create a team name!
A team matrix will tell the team which challenge they need to be at and when!
They must acquire oZones (charity cryptocurrency) by completing team challenges that are focused on climate change and the environment.
At the end of the challenge, we will do a final count to see which team won the most oZones and announce the winners.
Why take part in a Climate Action Challenge?
We can partner you with one of our Climate Action Challenge charity partners:
You could support a charity like Possible. Whether they’re running tree-planting days, vegan feasts or heat-camera treasure hunts. Plugging community-owned solar into train lines. Reimagining parks or lobbying MPs about onshore wind. Everything they do is about inspiring more people to take more ambitious action on climate change.
Or support the #BinForGreenSeas project by Green Seas Trust and help reduce the amount of plastic entering the seas and coastal areas. In the UK, 7.7 billion plastic water bottles are used each year and 700,000 are littered every day. Marine litter presents a huge problem in our oceans. Some scientists warn that by 2050, the number of plastics in the oceans will outweigh fish.
Contact us to find out more about this challenge for your team.
Climate Action Challenges
Plastic Ocean – Questions will be answered by team members. If successful the team can go to the ocean pond and retrieve as many fish trapped in plastic bottles as possible in 30 seconds.
What’s Watt? – Just how much energy is required to power everyday items? The team will get a chance to create their own power source and charge a tablet computer.
Wind Farm – A mathematical problem requiring the whole team’s input to work out when the windfarm was able to generate electricity. Brainpower and great teamwork required.
Re-use, Re-Purpose, Re-cycle – What is currently recyclable, and what can be safely reused and repurposed?
Endangered – Identify the species and where it’s located. Will its habitat survive if the temperature rises?
BeeHave – Which Beekeeper keeps Apus Cerana Japonica? Teams will need all their detective skills and by a process of elimination, they will reveal the answer.
Climate Change Challenge FAQs
What's the group size for the Climate Change Challenge?
To maintain a bit of healthy competition, the Great Philanthropic Challenge works best with at least two teams of around eight people. But we can cater for smaller and larger groups too! The event is totally scalable and suitable for groups of 8 - 1000+.
Where does the Climate Change Challenge take place?
We'll bring our team and all the equipment for the event directly to you, whether you're at a hired event space or on-site at your offices. We're invested in keeping our carbon footprint low, so we have a network of specialist o3e Event Crew across the country. We've held events in the UK, Europe, the USA and beyond!
How do you choose which charity we will be supporting?
If you don't already know which charity you'd like to support, we'll give you options for organisations in need, typically in your local area as we feel supporting your own community is important. Educational packs for schools, including learning materials to teach children about the environment and climate change, are a very popular option for donations from this event. Although we work with big organisations, we tend to try to encourage giving donations to smaller schools who don't always receive the same funding as larger organisations.
How long does the Climate Change Challenge last?
It's designed to last around 2-2.5 hours. However we can be flexible based on your agenda - get in touch and we can discuss options.
What happens after the Climate Change Challenge?
After the event, we'll deliver the educational packs your teams have won directly to the school with a donation note for the recipients. Once the recipients have had the donations for a short while, you'll receive feedback you can share with your team to really demonstrate the difference they've made by participating in the event.
I'm interested in the Climate Change Challenge - what next?
Get in touch with us via our Contact Form, the phone or email to let us know the size of your group, the anticipated location and date of your event (if you have one). We'll then provide a straightforward quote and a summary of the number of educational packs you can win. If you choose to go ahead with the event, we'll get the ball rolling with the event set up. We project manage the entire process from start to finish. We'll liaise with you about charity options and organise the event logistics, agenda, event space set-up and charity representative. We can also add bespoke elements to your event, depending on your objectives - for example, you might want to incorporate messaging surrounding your company's mission and vision, values or brand. We pride ourselves on providing exceptional service, and our client testimonials and satisfaction scores are a testament to this!
