“My Sustainability Vision” - Online Workshop for Educators Teach from the heart. Lead with purpose.  Sustainability education matters - and it’s even more powerful when it connects to your values and purpose. Discover your personal “why” for teaching sustainability in this deeply reflective workshop facilitated by Verity McLucas from EEV.  Through guided reflection, you’ll create your own "Sustainability Vision" - a statement that brings clarity, confidence and direction to your teaching, and readiness to embed sustainability more meaningfully.  You'll leave with a unique statement that grounds your practice and helps you embed sustainability more meaningfully every day, plus 5 steps you can take over the next 6-12 months that link directly to achieving your Sustainability Vision. Tickets: Early Bird: free if booking by 11:59pm Friday 7th August.

Given the interactive and personal focus of this workshop, it will NOT be recorded. It's important that you arrive on time - the workshop is based around a sequence of questions that build your sustainability vision, so you need to be there from the start so you don't miss any questions. We will not be able to stop and go back to the start if you join late otherwise the workshop will run over time.
