Personal Details

Bio

Harry is an international speaker, moderator, and educator specialising in sustainability, global citizenship, and innovative approaches to education.

He has spoken at and moderated sessions for a wide range of international events, both online and face-to-face, including ChangeNOW, IATEFL, and other global conferences focused on climate action and education.

Whether hosting a panel, guiding a fireside chat, or delivering a keynote, he brings energy, clarity, and a touch of dry humour to every stage.

Beyond public speaking, he is deeply involved in teacher training, curriculum design, and the development of creative learning materials that connect sustainability with meaningful classroom practice.

He is the author of Activities for a Greener Mindset, a practical guide to supporting teachers and students on their journey to becoming changemakers, no science degree required.

He co-hosts podcasts, collaborates with NGOs and publishers, and occasionally finds time to chase after his dog, step over his cat, and give his bearn a really good comb.

Dealing with Big Climate Emotions in the Classroom

The Climate crisis doesn't just affect the planet. It leaves deep scars How do we support young people facing an uncertain future while managing our own feelings too?
In this session, inspired by my TEDx talk, we’ll explore how to create space for big climate emotions like anxiety, anger, and grief without shutting down the conversation.

Through real stories, classroom strategies, and a touch of humour, we’ll look at how educators can empower students to move from overwhelm to action with empathy, honesty, and hope.

Creating a Greener Mindset: Empowering Young Changemakers Through Education

How do we move beyond awareness and into action in our classrooms? This talk shares practical strategies for educators to foster sustainability, critical thinking, and student agency, even without a science background. Based on the book Activities for a Greener Mindset, it’s packed with classroom ideas, teacher-tested tools, and plenty of humour.

From Individual Power to Collective Action

This talk unpacks how individual actions can lead to real collective change. Using stories from students, classrooms, and communities, it explores the journey from personal awareness to public action and how teachers can spark that shift in the classroom.

Sustainability Without Burnout

Too often, educators are expected to “fix” the world with little support. This talk offers honest insights and practical tools for integrating sustainability into your teaching practice, without feeling overwhelmed, guilty, or hopeless. A refreshingly real take on sustainability in education.

Testimonials (2)
  • I've worked with Harry on a wide range of ELT content. Harry is an indispensable contributor to the work we do both around sustainability and changemakers, but also outside of that as a valuable voice within the industry. His ability to grab and hold the attention of the audience with his personality and content has quickly gained traction in education and it's not everyday you find someone with such passion and humility. Harry and I also co-host a podcast together for an educational podcast, where he and I have managed to continue to grow an audience of educators. Harry's personability, experience and humour is what makes this podcast the success that it is, and we couldn't do it without him. Hire Harry with confidence.

  • I have known Harry for many years. He is a leading figure in environmental education and a deeply committed human being. Furthermore he is an engaging, passionate and very entertaining speaker who connects wonderfully with an audience from 1 to hundreds. I have seen Harry speaking on many occasions and have even had the honour of being moderated by him at a major event in Paris. His professionalism and expertise make him a perfect choice for any gathering of people who care about the environment - or should!
