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.
You will learn:
- Climate change and the ‘climate emergency’ – the current situation
- Behavioural change and climate communication – from theories to practice
- Framing and communicating – The right message for the situation
- What makes people act and change
- Building from awareness to action
- Working with unengaged groups
- Positive dialogues in the workplace and the community
- Developing and delivering an engagement plan
Free follow-up session!
Every course now includes the option of a 1-hour follow-up session on Zoom. You will have the opportunity to discuss your recent experiences, be given time to practice what you’ve learned, and get feedback.
"Informative with new ideas and techniques to take forward."
