Education for Sustainability Learning Group 2011
Overview
The EfS learning group was set-up in 2010 to provide an informal meeting space for school staff to share experiences of implementing EfS at their education site. Meetings are held on an as needs basis with topics identified by those that have attended previous meetings.
Meetings are informal and usually run from 4.30 to 6.30 pm on a Monday evening. Several guest speakers from schools are invited to speak on the chosen topic. with plenty of time allowed after each speaker for sharing and discussion.
