Description:Join us for a dynamic and practical workshop designed to equip you with effective strategies for engaging people in circularity and net zero initiatives. Through over 30 years of hands-on experience, from working with farmers on net zero projects in rural areas to engaging urban communities in Melbourne for climate change initiatives, we’ve learned that effective people engagement is never one-size-fits-all. Discover how strategies must be tailored to the unique context of each initiative—whether it’s a hospital, a logistics company, or a rural farming community. Each sector and region brings its own cultural and local considerations, requiring a specific set of skills and approaches. This workshop will provide you with the insights and tools you need to navigate these complexities and drive meaningful change, no matter the context.
What You Will Learn in the Workshop:
- Context-Specific Engagement: Understand how to tailor your engagement strategies to different sectors and regions, from rural farming communities to urban centers.
- Diverse Sector Approaches: Learn how engagement differs when working with hospitals, logistics companies, and other unique industries.
- Cultural and Local Considerations: Gain insights into how cultural and regional differences shape engagement strategies and learn to adapt your approach accordingly.
- Practical Tools and Insights: Walk away with actionable tools and proven strategies that you can immediately implement in your own sustainability initiatives.
