Learning for Change
It is possible to shift the pace of sustainability and CSR work by organizing learning in such a way that it maximises the use of experience. Participants bring their own case studies, systematically extracting new learning during the workshop. A toolbox builds a bridge between the workshop experience and everyday reality.
A half day (introduction) up to the full three-day workshop addressed primarily to leaders or managers of sustainability work.
