A Day of Nature Connection
The Ambassadors partake in a one-day trip with our partners working at the forefront of environmental education. This is an immersive, nature-based experience to kick-start the programme for a young person and their cohort.

Environmental Action
They prepare and deliver a project addressing an environmental issue aligned with their values, passions, and interests. They document their journey to create a powerful story using whatever medium they most connect with.
Storytelling Day
With partners like Central Film School, these days let Ambassadors get hands-on understanding how stories can inspire action. They work on a creative project that blends environment, activism and their own voices.
Celebration
Celebrating personal and group success is an integral part of the Bertha Earth Programme. Ambassadors come together at the end of the first year to share their journey, experiences, and projects.
