#ECO-TWINNING
The Nature's Racers 'Eco-twinning' programme brings schools, organisations and communities together to build friendships, share information, and show solidarity at a time when collaboration is key.
#TOGETHERWECAN
Our model is very simple, and is centred around the ethos that many people making small changes each, is a lot more effective than a few individuals trying to fix all of the world's problems alone. We're here to invite, encourage and support people to embark on nature friendly activities, which they then share to inspire others too. After all, sharing is caring! #ExperienceCareProtect
#ECO-TWINNING
IS ECO-WINNING
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
We facilitate the twinning process via optional workshops, digital collateral, quizzes and events - all of which can be provided in-person or online depending on your location and any COVID-19 restrictions that may still be in place. Activities can be linked to NR points with dedicated leaderboards for each, or participants can simply choose to share the fruits of the labour with their twin.
KEEPING IT SIMPLE
Over the years we've learned that schools feel restricted on what they can commit to, and for many nature isn't a priority, so we keep things really simple by first of all asking students to simply notice the natural world around them - starting with just 2 minutes each day. They don't need to do anything (unless they want to) it's simply about becoming more aware of what nature is, benefiting from the positivity it evokes, and beginning to think about whether they're seeing any changes over time - eg. seasons. Then at the end of term we ask them to share their thoughts / observations with their Eco-twin in whatever way feels easiest - this can be through artwork, photos, a short email/letter, or even a simple video or 'Zoom' call.
It's as easy as that!

THIS AUTUMN
Below we'll be sharing some photos as we go about our daily lives. Some are special moments where the beauty of nature has stopped us in our tracks. Some are more ordinary but still made us smile, whilst others seemed ordinary at first glance but we've looked closer to find a shape, colour or other feature that has helped us to appreciate them in a new way. We're currently noticing autumn and invite you to share your own photos with us by using #NoticeNature #EcoTwinning and @NaturesRacers on social media, or by emailing us at naturesracers@gmail.com We look forward to seeing what you've noticed too!
