Join us to explore a growing field of activity where opportunities to learn for climate are embedded in place.
First Hand Open Learning Design Day will bring together change-makers from local government, local business, place stewards, education and community networks who are driving climate, skills and social value agendas on the ground.
What we’ll do:
- Explore learning as critical infrastructure for change: what we need and how we can build it.
- Hear examples from practice: across real-world, local initiatives in circular economy, food, energy, and retrofit.
- Unpack the toolkit: how to shape place-based, hands-on, collaborative learning from open days to secondments.
- Address a shared challenge: what’s our blueprint for learning as a critical infrastructure for accelerating climate skills and action?
You’ll leave with:
- Clarity on our collective learning and skills challenge and how you might address it
- Real examples of learning formats and models that are working now for your peers
- New ideas to test in your organisation, sector, discipline or neighbourhood
- Connections with other changemakers who are building capability for sustainable futures.
