What we do
The Eden Project is wholly owned by the Eden Trust, an educational charity (charity number 1093070). We use exhibits, events, workshops and educational programmes to remind people what nature gives to us and to help people to learn how to look after it in return. All money raised goes to further the aims of the Trust.
Reaching over a million people a year
We welcome over a million people every year to join in our events and learn from our exhibits. Our work includes programmes and projects with schools, colleges and universities, but we also try to ensure everyone who comes to our site leaves knowing something more about their connections to the world.
The big questions
We are an organisation that believes in "learning by doing" and we try to run our operations in ways that help address some big questions. Questions like: How do we ensure the economic benefits of our work go back into the local economy? How do we manage food supply and waste? Or how do we construct buildings in a way that reflect the needs of the 21st Century?
Finding positive futures
Overall we believe the world we live in is facing radical change – and our aim is to help find positive futures in the face of that change. To get in shape for the challenges of the future we need a culture that knows how to sustain the things that sustain us and at the same time nutures creativity, imagination and adaptability.
With this focus, we have some special campaigns running to address what we see as critical issues:
Mud Between Your Toes
Mud Between Your Toes gets children back outside, re-connecting them with their natural world and their community.
Gardens for Life
An international educational programme working with schools around the world to grow gardens, food crops, ideas, conversations, partnerships and communities.
Climate Revolution
Rethinking how we get our energy, how we get around, and how we survive.
