Workshop Description
This workshop for Community Groups, Libraries and Family Resource centers will teach you how to take a strategic and authentic approach to your efforts, and ultimately, drive more change within your projects and events, by putting sustainability at the heart of your planning. You may wish to bring relevant ideas and notes about a prospecting event or project to this workshop. Learning Outcomes: • Understand the conditions that must be met to call an event sustainable/plastic-free/carbon neutral. • Explore ways to incorporate sustainability into plans and designs. • Gain confidence in organising sustainable projects and events. At our workshops, we offer a range of duration and delivery options to suit your needs. Whether you prefer in-person sessions or online workshops, each option offers unique advantages. For instance, a 30-minute online workshop provides a solid foundation, covering the basics effectively. However, opting for a longer, 2-hour workshop enables deeper learning and allows us to accomplish more together. Choosing the extended option not only enriches your learning experience but also ensures we can delve into more advanced topics and incorporate more interactive activities, resulting in greater value. So, for a more comprehensive and rewarding session, we encourage you to consider the longer duration options.
