What is
the brave times?

This digital newspaper acts as a resource for educators and learners containing inspiring stories, ideas for classroom learning, and opportunities to collaborate with global partners.  The main themes weaved throughout the Brave Times connect to climate change, sustainable construction, and human behaviour.  We have been inspired by COP26 in Glasgow and want to ensure young peoples voices from around the world are included in this important global conversation.
