Green Kids Inc. is a live-theatre company dedicated to environmental education through performance. We create -and help youth create- performance pieces about climate change and other environmental issues.
We use theatre as our medium to allow participants to imagine, empathize and laugh, all while understanding the serious issues we face. We inspire young people and their families to be gentler on our planet, giving them both hope and accountability through meaningful yet simple changes in daily habits, with tangible goals.

Green Kids Inc.
Theatre for the Planet
About
In 1991, a small group of activists with a love for sketch comedy created a fun and funny show about recycling and healthy eating. They toured to 25 Winnipeg schools in 3 weeks. That was the first Green Kids tour.
Now a professional theatre company that develops programming with educators and scientists, Green Kids is 30 years old and going strong. We tour to elementary and middle schools, as well as public events, with a variety of programs, consisting of plays and theatre workshops. We have performed for over 1.4 million students from over 1,600 schools across Canada and addressed issues such as habitat and wildlife conservation, world water supply, carbon footprint, farming and gardening, living local, composting, the 3 Rs, physical activity, emotional wellbeing and more.
Environmental issues can be difficult to connect to in a classroom setting. By presenting information through story and character, Green Kids engages imagination, sense of humour, understanding, and empathy. We are specialists in drama education, offering fresh ideas for tackling tricky environmental topics, and providing educators with valuable professional development.
Our programming is informative, realistic, and optimistic. We emphasize community spirit and individual action, with the message being that every little bit of help is an invaluable contribution.
We live in a time right now that children are rising up and speaking about our climate! We want to empower children by providing them with facts about environmental issues in a positive manner, and then equipping them with simple but effective tools to live green, and to speak up!
Mission Statement Our mission is to educate children, teachers and families on environmental issues and inspire them to take positive action towards protecting our environment.
Donations to Green Kids help fund the costs of developing new programs, and offering our programming to schools and public events at a reduced rate. We believe all kids and families should have equal access to environmental education, no matter how light their wallet is.
