Learning for Tomorrow, together with SME, The Green Brain and Katapult, is organizing the first Sustainability Skills Meetup of a new series for professionals from education, business, research institutions and government working on sustainable transition issues.
About the Sustainability Skills Meetup
In various regions, educational institutions, companies and governments are jointly training professionals for sustainable transitions. But how can we collaborate well and sustainably in this?
In an inspiring and activating work session we will work with the Whole Region Approach (WRA) - a tool to look at transitions and system change where different parties work together in regions. Using this way of looking at things, we will explore what this means for your daily practice. What do you recognize in your work? Where are the opportunities, and how can we strengthen each other?
Different parties work and innovate in the region. By jointly exploring where challenges and opportunities lie within regions, we gain insight into where they find each other and where they complement each other. We look for common ground and opportunities to make impact together.
The afternoon is all about sharing experiences, making connections and working together on sustainable transition issues.
