Positive Impact - Practical sustainability education for the events industry

Education

We recognise that when it comes to education, there is no “one size fits all”. That’s why we’ve created our range of options below to suit different learning styles, budgets and time available.

  1. Face to face workshops in the UK and internationally, delivered by trained educators.
  2. Online learning with Leeds Metropolitan University’s UK Centre for Events Management.
  3. Training tailored to your requirements and delivered at your chosen location.
  4. Low cost weekly sustainability updates, available online and via email.
  5. Downloadable ‘How To’ guides covering a range of issues relating to event sustainability.
  6. Free resources including case studies, presentations and links to online tools.

Our workshops cater for all levels of ability and time constraints and include case studies, practical guidance and expert contribution. They will support you in your goals to implement BS 8901 (future ISO 20121) and reporting on sustainability at your events.
