Transition Day @ The Health Innovation Campus, Lancaster University!

Dear Colleague,

We would like to invite your school to the new and exciting… Climate Action Transition Day 23^rd June 2026 taking place at Health Innovation One, Lancaster University, Bailrigg, Lancaster, LA1 4AT. This event will see children from across Lancaster come together to build confidence and self-esteem as they transition to high school. We would like schools to bring 6-8 children from KS2 and KS3, specifically years 5, year 6 and year 7 to take part in a ‘Climate Challenge Survival Transition Day’ Venue specific information will follow upon registering for the event. Pupils will step into a real life computer game type event!

09:00 arrive for a 10:00 start and the event should finish no later than 14:30. The Transition Day will run in the midst of a post-apocalyptic climate crisis! Children must work together to solve puzzles, learning about our local flora and fauna, learning what plants and animals need to survive and thrive, seeing things from different perspectives and working together to earn time in the mass group game at the end of the day. Think Crystal Maze meets Krypton Factor meets Mad Max!

Schools are encouraged to bring a targeted group of year 5/6/7 who perhaps don’t enjoy ‘traditional’ sports but may enjoy something different, or those could struggle socially and emotionally. We want to give children an experience that they may never have had before or again and build their confidence in order to aid transition to high school.

If you’d like to be involved, please book via our website & see below for further details. For any more information please contact:
