If We’d Known Then: Lessons in Sustainability Engagement
August 22, 2018 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT
FreeIn 2012 MacEwan University entered an unique and innovative partnership with the National Union of Students (NUS) to be the first non-UK university to run the award winning Green Impact program. Despite initial success, with engagement across the university community, unforeseen challenges meant reflection and a different strategy was needed. In this webinar, both parties share their stories of what they’ve learnt in terms of behaviour change and engagement, how to make sustainability programs resilient, and how to build bridges in a context of perpetual change.
