The network’s primary focus is to get young people involved with climate action. The goal is to have student ESCAN ambassadors representing each secondary school, college and sixth form in Essex.

ESCAN meet every half termly and produce a regular newsletter. If your school has keen students who would like to get involved, or an extra-curricular club or society that would like to send representatives, please get in touch.
