Planet Protectors HQ × The Rainbow Project
Caring for our planet, caring for our communities
Some kids carry the world on their shoulders. They notice when someone is left out. They worry when the planet feels fragile. They ask big questions about fairness, safety, and how things could be better.
But knowing how to act on those feelings can feel overwhelming.
That’s why Planet Protectors HQ and The Rainbow Project work so beautifully together. They offer a gentle, creative pathway into making a difference — one that helps your learner explore change-making without the pressure, the heaviness, or the sense that they have to fix everything at once.
One project focuses on caring for our environment. The other focuses on caring for people and communities. Together, they create a meaningful, balanced learning experience that feels empowering, imaginative, and deeply grounding.
Planet Protectors HQ
In this eight-week project, your learner becomes an eco-designer, a problem-solver, and a curious investigator of the world around them.
They’ll explore:
how habitats support life
how communities can reduce waste
how human activity affects ecosystems
how everyday choices make a difference
Through hands-on tasks — posters, models, eco-maps, clever redesigns — they build a growing collection of ideas for how to care for the places we love.
The project ends with a mini showcase, where learners share their eco-solutions in whatever form suits them: a model habitat, a poster series, a recyclable invention, a short video, or a display of their eco-maps and sketches.
The Rainbow Project
This project brings your learner into a warm conversation about identity, belonging, fairness, and representation.
Week by week, they explore:
what makes each of us unique
how communities flourish when everyone feels welcome
the stories and symbols that shape LGBTQIA+ history
how art and design can be used to advocate for inclusion
Learners express their ideas through storytelling, posters, digital art, zines, maps, and small reflective pieces. It all comes together in a personal Rainbow Exhibition — a collection of creative work that celebrates diversity, courage, and belonging.
Why these projects pair so well
Planet Protectors HQ and The Rainbow Project sit on opposite sides of the same big idea: how we take care of the world, and how we take care of each other.
Together, they help your learner explore:
agency: “My actions matter.”
empathy: “Other perspectives matter.”
advocacy: “I can express ideas that help people and places thrive.”
creative problem-solving: “There’s always a way to make things better.”
Both projects invite gentle activism through creativity: posters, models, maps, zines, mini-campaigns, and exhibitions. And because every activity offers flexible options, learners can show understanding in the way that feels most natural — drawing, building, writing, scripting, recording, talking, or designing.
What learners build and explore
Across both projects, your learner gets to:
design posters, maps, displays, and models
investigate real-world problems with hands-on curiosity
practise sharing ideas through visual communication
explore identity, fairness, sustainability, and community
develop confidence in speaking up kindly and thoughtfully
create exhibitions and showcases that capture their thinking
It’s purposeful learning wrapped in creativity.
Reassurance for parents
Families often want learning that means something — but they also want it to feel manageable.
This pairing ticks both boxes.
Both projects cover English, Science & Tech, PDHPE, Creative Arts, and HSIE, with maths woven in naturally through mapping, measuring, categorising, and tracking change. They offer rich, high-quality evidence for homeschool registration without relying on worksheets or dense written tasks.
And because the projects are choice-driven and sensory-friendly, they’re especially supportive for neurodivergent learners who thrive on creative, hands-on, meaningful work.
Who this pairing suits
Learners who care deeply about fairness, kindness, and the planet
Neurodivergent learners who need flexibility, creativity, and autonomy
Families seeking values-based learning with a gentle advocacy lens
Kids who enjoy making things — posters, maps, models, designs, and displays
Learners who want to use their creativity to help others
A gentle way to explore change-making
Planet Protectors HQ and The Rainbow Project show learners that change doesn’t have to be loud, dramatic, or perfect. It can begin with small steps, thoughtful ideas, and imaginative acts of care.
Together, these projects offer a full term of meaningful, joyful learning — grounded in creativity, kindness, and the belief that everyone has something valuable to contribute.
When your learner finishes both, they’ll have two beautiful showcases of their thinking, two bursts of confidence, and a deeper understanding of their place in the world and their ability to make it better.
