Attend workshops

Attend workshops or courses focused on sustainability and emotional wellbeing to deepen your understanding of these important topics.

Case studies

Explore

Explore what motivates individuals to change habits, which can inform your approach in working with children and families

Lead workshops

Could you lead workshops on topics such as loose parts, upcycling, zero waste, or sustainable cooking, engaging peers in hands-on learning?

Collaborations and Connections

Connect with local organisations for conservation or clean up initiatives to strengthen community connections while tackling environmental challenges and share these experiences with your work placements and fellow students.

These steps are designed to be achievable for students while making a meaningful impact on their ability to lead sustainability and emotional wellbeing practices.
