The programme takes place over eight-weeks and includes interactive workshops and practical opportunities to help you become more sustainable in your daily life. You have the unique opportunity to hear from council and community experts on a range of topics, and share your own ideas, challenges, and tips. We all learn from each other around engaging topics such as waste minimisation, gardening, water, energy and travel.
"These were very insightful workshops, would be interested in going further into this area."
