A Greener future is introducing a new course ‘Creating a Sustainability Policy & Strategy for your Organisation’ which will take place in Manchester on 7 October 2024, hosted by Major Events International (MEI).
Many organisations realise that having a sustainability policy and strategy is imperative, whilst those that already have them in place may need to update or rewrite current policies as knowledge and legal requirements are wont to rapidly change. But where do you start? What’s the difference between policy and strategy? How do you put together a sustainability action plan? What should you focus on? How do you set target goals? What should you avoid putting into your policy and strategy, and why?
The one-day interactive course is designed for organisations, local authorities, or anyone tasked with writing or updating sustainability policies and strategies. Participants will learn to create impactful sustainability policies, develop strategies for positive environmental change and network with industry leaders.
Meanwhile, on the 14 and 15 November, AGF’s Assessor Training Course returns with a two-day, in-person course hosted by Major Events International (MEI) in London. Participants will gain insights from industry experts with over a decade of experience, learn through a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical case studies and collaborate with industry experts and fellow participants.
The Assessor Training Course is also relevant for those who want to work in event sustainability, upskill, or improve their understanding, including event organisers, local authorities, suppliers, academics and researchers, as well as those who are passionate about developing their knowledge of event sustainability.
All those who successfully complete the course will become Stage 1 Certified A Greener Future Assessors and will receive a certificate of completion from AGF. Online trainees will receive a joint certificate from AGF and the relevant university. Trainees are then eligible to move onto Stage 2 of our training programme, which will involve event site visits and the completion of assessments under the supervision of one of our senior assessors, and in future, to become senior assessors themselves.
The Accessor Training Course is designed to provide participants with a understanding of the key operational issues that impact the environment before, during, and after events take place. Drawing on over 18 years of experience in assessing global festivals and events, the course covers a wide range of topics
