The Playful Activism Toolbox

A collaboration with Greenpeace offering secondary school students creative tools to take meaningful climate action at their school.

The Playful Activism Toolbox is an interactive, school-based project designed to help young people build resilience to eco-anxiety and take meaningful climate action in their communities. Developed in collaboration with Greenpeace, the project supports students to explore climate justice, strengthen their sense of agency, and create their own Playful Activism over eight structured sessions that offer creative tools and games.

Coney first prototyped the project (then called The Climate Agency Box) in 2023/24 and developed it through multiple iterations with teachers, designers, and students in Tower Hamlets. In partnership with Greenpeace, we then further developed and shaped it into a robust, accessible experience that saw a second pilot in early 2025, reaching 52 new students across 2 schools.

Feedback from teachers and students has been incredibly encouraging:

• 78% of students reported increased knowledge of the climate crisis

• 78% felt more empowered to make change

• 75% would recommend the Toolbox to their peers
