A fantastic day dedicated to you, your community and climate change.
Climate change and the ‘climate emergency’ are high on many agendas. This course will enable you to engage people on these issues and encourage them to take action.
Whether you are an individual, or an organisation looking to reach out to members, staff, local people, other stakeholders, this course will teach you how to overcome their concerns and enable them to act. Attendees will gain valuable new skills and knowledge needed in the long-term engagement of civil society organisations, groups, and individuals. We will tackle work on reducing their carbon footprint, energy issues and zero-carbon living. As part of our ‘Experience Learning’ programme, group exercises – linked to issues and situations raised by participants - will enable attendees to share ideas and learn from each other’s experiences.
Extremely good day – thank you! Kate Hogart (SEPA)
