An environmental education company based in Lyme Regis is looking for student writers to contribute to its first environmental magazine.

Little Green Change is searching for writers aged 11 to 18 to contribute articles focusing on specific environmental topics like fast fashion or micro plastic pollution. 

Writers will also have the opportunity to interview an individual or business leader in the sector.

Little Green Change is a non-profit social enterprise based in Lyme Regis, providing environmental education and opportunities for primary and secondary-aged children in schools and communities across the UK.

The company is also currently offering work experience opportunities to year 12 students across west Dorset for those interested in the environmental sector.

Students from The Woodroffe School, and Colyton Grammar School, have already signed up for the magazine project, but the company are encouraging schools across Dorset to get involved.

Little Green Change's Founder and Director, Clare Matheson, said: “This is a great opportunity for students aged 11-18 who are interested in the environment and/or a future career in journalism to feature in a professionally printed publication.

“I have produced student magazines in the past and feedback from the participants has been brilliant. Being able to take a professional magazine with your credited work featured in it to future job interviews can really help, and the students I have worked with in the past have gained a strong sense of pride from being involved.”

 An electronic version of the magazine will be available on Little Green Change's website later this year. Copies will also be printed on recycled paper for the participating schools, students, organisations, and individuals featured.
