WISE realises that teachers can find sustainability topics challenging to deliver in a school environment. Through a range of professional development courses and events we can help you to keep up to date with new developments and acquire the knowledge, skills and confidence to build a sustainable school community that has a global outlook. WISE courses and events draw on many years of experience and are designed to be practical, relevant, value for money, friendly and inspiring.
WISE can offer:
- Staff meetings, Inservice training and presentations on sustainability and Eco-Schools – these can be to governors, site staff, senior leadership and teachers.
- One-off courses and conferences on current issues in sustainability education – these will include inspiring speakers, opportunities to share best practice and hands-on workshops and activities.
- Now available – Global Gardening course as a twilight for your school – see the events page for more details
WISE Events
- Event organisation and management – if you have an idea for an event on a sustainability theme (such as a student conference on climate change or a green careers fair) we can run your event for you or work with you to bring your ideas to fruition.
- Collaborative events and projects with schools, local authorities and other organisations – we are always keen to explore and initiate partnerships that promote sustainability in the wider community. We can achieve more by working together!
