The 100 Days of Climate Activism – Schools Project is an education-driven initiative that empowers learners to take action for the planet through a structured 100-day challenge. Designed for primary and secondary schools, the project turns climate awareness into creativity, leadership, and hands-on activism.

For 100 days, students engage with simplified, relatable climate messages tailored to a young audience. At the end of the challenge, each school hosts a vibrant showcase where learners express what they have learned through:

• Creative writing
  
  
• Public speaking (speeches, short talks, storytelling)
  
  
• Debate competitions
  
  
• Art and illustration
  
  
• DIY climate projects (recycling, innovation, repurposing, planting)
  
  

The project nurtures a new generation of environmentally conscious leaders by combining learning with expression, teamwork, and practical action. It encourages students to think critically, speak boldly, and innovate for a greener tomorrow.

This schools project forms the backbone of the 100 Days of Climate Activism movement — taking climate education from posters and social media into classrooms, clubs, and communities across Uganda.

Our Lady Parents’ School in Luwero launched the first chapter of the 100 Days of Climate Activism – Schools Project with a vibrant event themed “Little Actions, Big Change.” The outreach brought pupils together to express their understanding of climate change through creative, educational, and highly interactive activities.

Learners showcased their talent through poetry recitals, a climate-themed song, recycling art displays, and a lively talk-show simulation where they took on roles such as politicians, community leaders, and radio hosts. They discussed real environmental issues affecting Luwero—including waste mismanagement, disappearing tree cover, and unpredictable weather—while proposing practical solutions for their community.

A standout moment came from Busingye Holiness, a Primary Five pupil whose confidence and deep insight earned her the grand prize of Term 1, 2026 school fees. Her speech powerfully echoed the day’s message that small, consistent actions can create meaningful environmental impact.

Officials from the District Environment Office delivered a keynote emphasizing Luwero’s worsening weather patterns and calling for more tree planting, better waste practices, and stronger environmental awareness in schools.

The school administration thanked the campaign team and reaffirmed their commitment to integrating environmental consciousness into their programs. The event not only empowered learners but demonstrated how schools can shape environmentally responsible citizens ready to build a sustainable future for Uganda.
