Want to learn how to save money on your power bill? Grow a new garden?How to reduce your waste? Clever tips and tricks to make your home more energy efficient? 

We’re keen to help you become more sustainable in your daily life through participation in the Future Living Skills Programme.

Future Living Skills was developed collaboratively by local government in NZ and is supported by Palmerston North City Council.  It is published by independent charity Sustainable Living Education Trust.

Over the eight-week series of interactive workshops, hear from council and community experts on a range of topics, each with their own learning guide (available on the Sustainable Living Education Trust website), and share your own ideas, challenges, and tips.  We can all learn from each other!

Our third 2023 programme will start on Tuesday 12th September from 5:30pm 7:30pm and  registrations are open now.

We encourage participants to come to most of the workshops but do recognise that people have busy lives and may choose to come to just those that they are most interested in.  There is potential to catch up on topics missed at a future series.  For this series we are offering workshops in both Palmerston North (6) and Feilding (2).  The Feilding workshops will be more hands on.

The Palmerston North workshops will be held in the Oroua Room on the ground floor of Palmerston North City Library, entry via George Street.
