Toolbox for Environmental Change 2012
Leadership in Sustainability
Greening Australia, in partnership with Sustainability Victoria and Melbourne Museum, and with co-sponsors DEECD and VAEE held the twelfth Toolbox for Environmental Change forum on Thursday 22nd March at Melbourne Museum.
With dozens of workshops and displays, the Toolbox for Environmental Change forum was the ‘one stop shop’ for curriculum resources, networking and ideas for taking environmental action and promoting sustainability within school communities for over 300 participants.
In 2012, the focus of leadership in sustainability was explored in the context of school-community partnerships, student leadership, ResourceSmart AuSSI Vic school case studies and the VELS and National Curriculum frameworks. Hands on workshops and informative displays were presented by leading environmental sustainability education organisations, local councils, green businesses, leading schools and many more.
