Leaders of the Future in Sustainable Development Workshop
Funded by LSIS, Delivered by EAUC
Location: Birmingham – Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre
7 July 2011 - 8 July 2011
Leaders of the Future in Sustainable Development Workshop is an
LSIS event run by EAUC and aims to build participants’
capability and confidence to be leaders, influencers and change
agents in their organisation, and equip them to work across the
organisation to embed sustainable development in all areas of
activity.
The programme is for anyone, within colleges and sixth form
colleges, work based learning providers and ACL providers, who has
lead responsibility for sustainable development within their
organisation, for example as a sustainability leader, co-ordinator
or ‘champion’. It is suitable both for those with
experience in such a role, and for those more recently
appointed.
By attending this two-day workshop you will get the following
key benefits for you and your organisation:
- A clear understanding of what sustainable development means,
and what it means for your organisation;
- A deeper understanding of your role as a sustainability
champion, and how you can benefit your organisation;
- The insights and experiences shared from some of the top
sustainability practitioners in the learning and skills sector,
focusing on the key sustainability areas of :
- Leadership & strategy
- Teaching & learning
- Community & business
- Estates, facilities, carbon & procurement
- An understanding of who you need to engage with, or continue to
engage with, and how, to develop your organisation’s
commitment and practice in sustainable development;
- Awareness of information and support available within the
learning and skills sector to assist you and your organisation in
developing and implementing a sustainability strategy;
- Tailor made action plans and strategies to develop your role,
engage stakeholders, and increase your impact in your
organisation;
- A range of tools to take back and use with colleagues and
students, to facilitate engagement with the sustainability
agenda.
Attendance at the workshop will be backed up with a series of
resources that will be available on the LSIS website. These will be
